i told my boyfriend i’m going to grow out my armpit hair for funsies/cause i think it looks nice & i like it and he literally started yelling & crying and saying i can’t do this to him and he wants no part in it. then asked if i’m just becoming lazy.

what the hell? this is so weird and offputting and makes me feel like he’s a pornsick little baby. i guess this is more vent than advice solicitation but damn.

How do you set the standard for what you want in your boyfriend?
I mean it more in a how do you define your type, because i've seen lots of anons say that they have very specific standards when looking for a partner. Do you just set the basics and then like…your IDEAL stuff?
i posted this in the stupid questions thread but i Guess it's more fitting here

No. 251545

>>251540
I'm confused by the question. You don't have to be any more specific about it than you want to. Of course you should expect kindness and respect from any man you spend time with. But as far as what you find attractive and what things you are willing to tolerate, it depends on your goals for the relationship and your personal values. What do you want him to be like? What do you want him to look like, or not look like? What things do you want to do together? What things do you want to agree on? In what ways are you comfortable in differing? Come up with both your goals, your boundaries, your deal-breakers. You should always be looking for your ideal if you want a marriage partner out of him. If you aren't ready for that and don't know your type, maybe try going on a few dates just to get a feel for what you like and don't like in a man.

My boyfriend is super sacrificial, cleans for me, cooks for me, seems very interested in being worthy of being my partner. I didn't want a wedding or to get engaged, but we have been planning to get married since the beginning, basically. The original goal was once he graduated college (since I graduated over a year before him), we'd get married. I've sort of been wanting to get married to get it over with. Now that he's graduating this semester, he says he wants to get married once he finds a job. He is already looking for a job and regularly checking postings, so I know he is serious about finding one. I am wondering if I should be concerned or not about this move of a goalpost. I pointed this out to him and he said he wasn't trying to move it like other people. I'm a bit frustrated because I feel like I've already found a job, gotten two raises, and I've even just moved on to another job, and I sort of feel like my timeline isn't being considered in this. I never really wanted to get married at all before I met him, but he made me feel like maybe marriage would be worth it with him. At the end of this semester, we'll have been together for 3 years. It's hard for me to know how to feel and whether my BPD is making me paranoid (it's under control completely now in terms of my actions and almost completely in terms of my thoughts; no one irl except my bf knows).

No. 251550

>>251548
Your concerns about the goal post being moved aren't unfounded, but I think waiting until he finds a job is a very reasonable request, provided he makes a real effort toward finding one. It would be difficult to plan a wedding while job hunting at the same time, and it can be hard to ask for time off when you've just started a job as well. So if it takes him longer than expected to find one, then there could be conflict with your wedding date that costs him his first job out of college. It shouldn't take a really long time to find one, so what's a few months delay in the grand scheme of things if you plan on spending the rest of your lives together?

No. 251551

We're not having a wedding, we are just getting married at a courthouse (per my request as he would actually prefer a wedding, but he understands that I'm a very private person; it's also because I basically an no contact with my family, so the wedding would bring up bad feels due to that). But yeah, I see your point anyway. I just am really paranoid because I've heard of guys doing this and it is sad because he's given me reason to trust him in every other aspect. I just have issues with paranoia so I wanted to see if I was maybe giving in to that. I appreciate you not doomsdaying and giving some perspective anyway. Part of his reasoning is that right now, since I'm transitioning to a new job, we are trying to figure out if we want to go on my or his future health insurance plan as it's likely the health insurance for his type of job will be better than the type of job I work at. We're both the practical sort, I just have some unfounded beliefs that I'll be screwed over even though he's nothing but loyal and caring for me.

Armpits take all of 5 seconds to shave. I find leg shaving to be a time consuming chore but when a woman opts out of a 5 second grooming task.. it's not about effort. It's about choice. And you already told him that so.. seems like he's trying to belittle you by going straight to calling you lazy.

It does seem like he's being reasonable and is trying to gain some stability in both your lives before you can move on, get married and start to get comfy into your marriage. I think don't worry anon, if you're both still very much in love and as you said, if he's very loyal and caring, then there's nothing wrong with waiting a bit longer to gain some footing.

I figured out that I was in a relationship with narcissist for 2 years after they discarded me for the first time a few days after christmas and was isolated with covid. I researched for weeks about narcissism and it became pretty clear that was the abuse I had endured. We got back together even though I straight up knew what was going to happen. I came back because I needed to know for sure. Before he controlled every aspect of me and I was lost. This time I took control. I went where I wanted, said what I wanted, drove myself to work etc.He could also no longer sexually assault me because I put myself on a consent schedule. I allowed him to come over once a week instead of 5 or 6. We were actually doing fine until my mom came to stay with me and he didn't have access to me for 10 days. 3 days after she left he discarded me for the second time. This time he did it through text while I was at work at the beginning of a 16hr shift. I told him I had enough and that he was a coward and he abused and sexually assaulted me the past 2 years and that I straight up know he's a narcissist. He said he was above throwing insults back and that he was sorry he "hurt me".
I'm still sad. But I'm a lot better than when the first one happened. I blocked him on everything and I know thats it for me. My question is though. Do you think he will try to hoover me back? Or are they fully done when you unmask them? Both discards I unmasked him. The first one publicly and his family found out he hit me and the second time I straight up said I know your game and I'm not playing it anymore.

It's an annoying answer anon, but the way that I set the bar for what I wanted was simply through experience. I've dated quite a few men over the years and have had a few long term relationships and came out of each one realising the things I didn't want (at first). I knew that because a partner did x I knew to look for it when dating again so I could avoid it.
However, it's only been in recent years that I've started to gain the knowledge to know what I do want. I think a way to fast track this process would be dissecting those things you know you're not seeking. There are things you didn't even know you wanted, or didn't want, until you experience them. To provide an example, it's taken me a really long time to figure out what level of intimacy I've wanted from partners. But I've had to date different sorts of people to figure out just how much, and what would meet me on my level.
You can only really know what you're after when you go out and meet people. I mean, you don't need to serial date like I have but as you mentioned, have some basic things you'd like to start, bring them up early on in meeting someone, and get out there.

The question isn't whether he'll try again… its whether you'll stay strong if he does try it.

I've been through similar and for a while afterwards I would think about it daily 'will he text soon?' He had hit me multiple times, broken objects, forced sex acts and turns out he cheated as the icing on top. It's amazing how they leave a mental mark on you through where you wonder what they're thinking and planning next.

I had the issue where I couldn't visit family but he could go on a 15 day holiday with his. I think all it really came down to was wanting sexual access and resenting any plans that cost him a bj.

You'll probably find yourself processing memories alot in the next few months but don't get sucked back.

Grow out your armpits nonna, it really does feel soft and amazing and I think it looks great too. It's not for everyone ofc but it just looks so adult and mature in my eyes kek, like >>251529 is so naturally beautiful like something you'd see in a painting.

i agree with you. i admire women who don’t shave just as a fuck you to arbitrary beauty standards, but even then i honestly think women’s body hair is attractive. like… it makes you look like an adult woman. it makes me feel like all men are secretly pedos or not really attracted to women if a small patch of hair beneath our shoulders makes them recoil with such disgust.

Every time i get slightly self conscious hes reassuring. One time he dramatically (play) pulled back the covers to reveal my hairy legs, and he said (like crocodile dundee) “the female form, showing off its hair in the wiLd asserts its dominance in the kingdom” …

Same. I stopped grooming my body hair for two years. Full untamed ladystache, eyebrows, armpit fur, pubes, legs, even my weird scraggly nipple hairs. I did it somewhat out of laziness in that I didn't see a point in wasting all that time and energy shaving, tweezing and trimming if I wasn't leaving the house often. Any time I felt weird about going out hairy, my boyfriend was reassuring that he thought I was beautiful hair or no hair. And he still petted my hairy legs, kissed my hairy lip, and ate my hairy coochie just like he did when I was well-groomed. He even proudly proposed to me in my hairy monkey state in front of all of our friends and family.
>>251589
I'm not saying all this to brag about my Nigel but to say that there are men out there who aren't pornsick and are attracted to adult women with adult women features. Don't write this off as something all men will do and therefore you'll just tolerate it. Not caping for men because there are many, many terrible men but I just want you to know you can have what you want because it is out there. Every woman deserves to be adored in all her hairy glory, whether she does it for aesthetic, comfort, sickness or injury, or pure laziness, it really doesn't matter. The fact that we grow hair shows we are physically mature and nothing more. A sane man would not be turned off by any amount of body hair let alone throw a hissy fit. So you should do with your body whatever makes you happy and find a partner that doesn't literally cry over fucking armpit hair. Seriously, is he on hard drugs or something?

I told him this morning that it still bothered me (because it does) and that I feel like it's best if in the future he doesn't talk about it because it really makes me sad. I have been crying all morning about it. We both discussed that it's more than likely related to my fears of abandonment, which is true, but this cuts me so deep because I kept on telling myself everything was fine as long as he didn't move the goal post as it's already been moved once before (no one's fault) because he took a semester longer to finish school than he anticipated.

I don't know how to get over this, nonnies. I don't understand marriage. I never wanted to be married before because I did not see a point in it, unless you are talking about finances. My boyfriend drummed it up to be this sweet, cutesy thing that slowly changed my view of it. I am bitter he made me actually attach value to the concept of marriage. If this truly is about finances, then of course I wouldn't care if it's moved up. I wouldn't care for all the other things that come with it.

I want to leave work right now because of how much this is affecting me. I feel like I put my trust in him and it didn't fall through. I am aware this is dramatic and I know me explaining how talking about it this morning pushed him away from me. How the hell do I not care about this? I hate this so much. I talked earlier after I got a job to him about how I'd like to get married sooner, but he didn't want to because then, it was that he hadn't finished school and I knew that was the original point. Please help me get some perspective anons, I'm morphing into black and white thinking and I don't know how to emotionally recover from this.

I'm >>251550 and even though you're not planning a formal wedding I still don't think this is cause for panic. I understand that you have abandonment issues and that it's scary to trust someone. I don't think it's a bad thing either that you're being cautious because there are men out there that will string women along and play with their emotions and not follow through. Without knowing your boyfriend I can't tell you if it's something he's capable of. With the information I have, I don't see red flags. But you know much more than I do. You know more than you give yourself credit for. But you admit you're feeling very emotional right now, which can cloud your judgment. I recommend that you make an effort to get yourself into a calm and relaxed mental state. Let this go for your work day as much as you can, distract yourself. Go home or somewhere you like to relax, and find your happy place. Then try to reflect on the state of your relationship with your boyfriend, your mutual goals, your future. Do you trust him enough to tie the knot? Are these feelings coming from his behavior, or something in your past? No one can give you the answers, including him! You have to find it within yourself. Whether or not you have religious ideas about marriage, marriage is a long haul commitment. Divorces are often messy. So you want to be confident that the relationship will last a long time, if not the rest of your lives. It's not a fun romantic gesture. It's a legal union that binds together your assets among other things. And if you think the relationship will stand the test of time, then a few months of job hunting, which I still think is a reasonable request, shouldn't scare you.

I feel like I don't know anything. Before I changed, I basically assumed the most terrible betrayals were occurring to me, so it is difficult for me to understand what is based in reality as I'm used to assuming the absolute worst. I've moved away from that mindset, but it still feels like I am denying the fact that people will betray, lie, and cheat me. I'm waiting for time to wash away my old feelings of distrust that I can't say were based on actions, but my distortions.

> Are these feelings coming from his behavior, or something in your past?

No, not his behavior, but it's projections from other women I've seen because I'm afraid of ending up like that. I still sometimes slip into my old mindset of preferring to be in a bad relationship where I know it is bad, rather than be in a good relationship where it is based on trust and unknowns. However, it is true that their significant others were not good to them in the way my boyfriend is to me. I think it's also because all my ex boyfriends wanted to marry me, but I didn't want to marry them. I would non-committedly say stuff like "sure", so that is probably informing me as well. My boyfriend talks a lot more concretely about marriage by comparison to me in my old relationships.

My ideas of marriage are informed by the fact that both of our parents married really young and have been together forever. I didn't really like the dynamic of my dad with my mom, so I wasn't a big fan of the idea for a while. I actually fell in love with my current boyfriend (I had not been in this experience previously) and he brought up marriage early on, within 3 months of dating, and he said then he wanted to do it after he finished school. It made me think because I never saw myself wanting marriage with anyone before and it made me consider whether I wanted that with this person.

Truthfully, I'm still not sure, not because I don't want to be with him forever, but because I don't understand the point of marriage as a gesture. I saw him saying he wanted to marry me after x event as a "promise", which is why I'm reacting the way I am and feel so rigid about this. It feels like a broken promise to me and I'm gutted. I had/ve a lot of reservations about marriage before, mainly how it makes me feel about myself. I grew up hating the attributes attributed to wives. It made me not want to be a wife. I feel like that's a shallow angle to not want to get married for. I guess another point against marriage is that my boyfriend is also not as financially well off as me. He has student debt, I have none. I have 40k in savings, he has none. He also wants to go to grad school, which is another financial burden I'll have to shoulder. I was not as okay with this aspect of marriage before until I realized since we'll always be living together that it will affect me just the same. Plus, I am happy to help him out of his debt. Marriage has become something to prove his devotion to me in my mind since he made this (what to me seemed like a) promise, which is why I'm so hurt. I have not cared to think about the angle that I'll be married to him, and I've focused far more on the idea that he'll be married to me. On that latter idea, I am hurt. On the former idea, I don't worry about it. I brush that aspect off because I don't feel like he's gaining anything by marrying me, I fall into the trap of idealizing him and feeling like only I am gaining something from his interest in me.

I mean, I'm this person who used to have terrible BPD and this man worked with me through that and ultimately believed in me. I don't deserve that kind of love, though I want it and gel in it. I am attributing worth to myself if he wants to marry me and I think that's why I feel threatened he is moving the date.

You're going to hate me for this, anon. But I'm going to be blunt with you. If you're using this marriage to measure your self worth, you aren't ready to get married and you shouldn't get married. Not yet. That trap that you're scared of falling into? This is often how it starts. By tying their ego to the fact that someone they love or are attracted to wants to marry them. They want to marry as soon as they can because the idea of the marriage improves their self esteem. Or the promise of marriage, in the absence of marriage, hurts them, and they think getting married will patch them right up. But they don't really have goals for their marriage or see the future clearly. Don't do this. This isn't what marriage is about. A proposal is a gesture of devotion. An engagement ring is proof of that devotion. Marriage is more complicated than that. I'm not saying you should never marry your boyfriend. But you're not ready. You need to work on this with someone other than your boyfriend, like a trusted friend or family member, or a counselor. It's great that he helps you and believes in you. But you are not seeing this clearly. Marriage is a contract, yes it's one that can be broken, but it's not something to charge at because it'll make you feel good, or because not doing it will make you feel like your boyfriend has failed you or you've failed yourself. Because breaking it can be extremely difficult especially if either person doesn't want to. You need to be in a rational state of mind before making this decision. Look, your marriage doesn't have to look like anyone else's. You will be a wife, but your wifehood doesn't have to look like your mother's. Do you know what his expectations are of you, as a wife? Does he know your expectations of him, as a husband? It sounds like you've probably talked this out, but it's important to have a concrete idea of what your marriage will look like, from both perspectives. But don't be mistaken. He does have something to gain from this, for one, access to your finances, of which you have more than he does. But more importantly, you, as his legal life partner. That is a lot for you to give someone. Don't give it away for fleeting feelings of self love. Because marriage won't fix this. It's going to take more work than that.

I'm not bpd but I was unstable, depressed, grieving etc when I was younger. I wasn't far from how bpders act. I got married to a guy that I thought was amazing while I was still in my early twenties and in the thick of poorly handled illness. I don't know what age you are but between my own experiences and having multiple friends with actual bpd your twenties are the rough zone and a risky time to be making big decisions while that's an underlying issue.

You and this guy might be together for the long run but rushing to make it legal when you're showing signs of struggle right now makes it seem like bad timing. Hard as this is.. waiting it out and making those commitments later on could work out better. ime I thought marriage would create this sense of stability and 'ultimate proof of love' but it was so anticlimactic that it was the beginning of the end for us strangely enough. If I could go back to those days I'd opt for more therapy and less rushing to commit. In those circumstances slowing down can give you a better chance of staying together.

How do you anons deal with your bfs being absolutely shitty around the house? My bf is almost 30 and he has two left arms when it comes to keeping the house clean, fixing things around the house, and basically doing anything other than sitting around. I have given him the benefit of the doubt, I know he's had a shitty life with an alcoholic dad and an emotionally abusive mother, so I understand that his parents just weren't really there when it came to teaching him how to take care of himself. But now that we've been living for 2 years, he still does the bare minimum around the house and I constantly have to prompt him to do A, B and C. I've tried talking to him about it but it seems like it just goes in one ear and out the other. Do any anons have advice on how to get someone to be a better house mate??

No. 251708

Be honest with me anons, would it be retarded/unhinged of me to ask my boyfriend's parents if they've maintained contact with my bf's ex from ages ago after they broke up? It's long enough for anyone to expect them to not be in contact anymore (dated for less than a year 12 years ago), he's never mentioned her to me until I realized some woman is clearly stalking my social media and confronted him to ask who is that and he said it's nothing to worry about and she probably just missed his family and that was a reasonable explanation to him; but when it comes to being in contact though he refused to give me a straight answer and I'm feeling very uncomfortable about it. I really want to ask them but I'm a recovering bpdchan so maybe I'm misjudging how appropriate it is and they'll think I'm insane? Would you do it in my situation?

Not to sound mean but dump him, if he wanted to he could, is my saying.

By asking and watching yt, and I'm younger, your bf sounds like a typical moid happy to let the burden fall on you because he knows you'll do it and trust me but no amount of asking/communication is going to make him change

If you don't want to play mommy to your lover-manbaby for the rest of your life, potentially with the addition of a real baby later on, ditch him. You have already spoken with him many times before. Contrary to popular belief men are not helpless, bumbling retards, they just know they can get away with playing one because everyone else makes excuses for them. He knows you may fuss every now and then, but eventually things go back to normal and he gets to continue being a slob while you pick up the slack. He wants to live in a rotting dungeon? He can go right ahead, without you. He knows you want help with the chores, he heard you the first hundred times, he just doesn't care enough to consistently pitch in. Don't settle for a partner that can't manage the most basic of adult tasks. He's a grown fucking man now. I know male teenagers with shitty upbringings who were already doing more to take care of a house at half his age.

This just sounds shady in general, bpdchan or not. I'm confused though, he wasn't clear about whether she is in touch with his parents or with him? I wouldn't really care if some psycho was still trying to communicate with my partner's parents, that's their issue, but if he was speaking to her? Twelve fucking years after the fact? Yeah no, he'd be in the ditch.

My boyfriend forgot our anniversary for the first time in our relationship. We've been together a year, and we celebrated our anniversaries every month. He's always been very attentive towards it, talking about it days before and doing something for me. This time, I noticed he only brought it up once about a week ago. I told him I had things planned for him, and he gave me a "me too" answer without much enthusiasm. It gave me a bad feeling but I ignored it. As I said, he's never forgotten an anniversary before.
Today was our anniversary. He forgot. Like, entirely forgot. At some point I hinted at the fact that today was a "special day" and he acted confused, then realized it was our anniversary. He used the excuse that he's been tired, but I feel like with his track record of always remembering, something else is off for him to completely forget.
He's not the best at communication which is a red flag in itself, but I never would've expected him to forget an anniversary. He apologized and said he felt terrible, but it doesn't seem like he even wants to make up for it.
I'm hurt and I don't know what to make of it. I know some people would just brush it off, but he really has never forgotten before– for him to suddenly forget entirely is not normal for him. I'm trying to handle it maturely with him and be understanding, but deep down there's a lot of anger, especially because he doesn't even seem to want to make up for it. If he ran to make up for it I wouldn't mind, but it's the lack of care overall that hurts and worries me.
Am I overreacting about this? Should I just look past it as not a big deal? Or am I maybe right in feeling like something is off? I just don't know what to do, or if I'm even justified in feeling upset. I love him a lot but this worries me about our relationship and if he's the right one for me.

If it weren't mutual, I wouldn't set that expectation. He was the one who always wanted to celebrate every month - though it wasn't a huge celebration, usually just something really small.
I've actually never been with a guy who wanted to celebrate anniversaries so much, so in a way I thought it was cute. It threw me off that he'd suddenly forget after always being determined to do something on every anniversary.
It's more concern about his feelings and possibly being disinterested in me than it is feeling like he owes me anything, when he's always wanted to do something before.

There's nothing wrong with your reaction nona, your feelings are legit. Celebrating every month is quite a lot, but people act like it's impossible to address things with a sentence or two of communication. "I've loved doing things with you but it's starting to feel like more of an obligation than fun. I don't want to stop having date nights, but can we make it less regimented from now on?" It's that simple. Instead he told you he had something planned when he didn't. I don't care if it was a white lie where he'd intended to figure it out later. It was still a lie and that would upset me too. It's hard to make a broad judgment since I don't know about the rest of the relationship, but I'll just say that you are allowed to have any standards you desire and you shouldn't shortchange yourself. Personally I'm really fucking tired of guys that half-ass things because I bring a ton of affection and energy to a relationship even years down the road. If they don't feel I'm worth keeping pace, they can go ahead and find someone who's less effort and will give less in turn. Up to you to determine if this is just a rare misstep or if there have been too many situations where he's not meeting you on your level.

If she can remember, plan for it, and be happy to do so, her partner can too. She wants someone who is high effort and this is fine. However, if the guy isn't feeling it (which he clearly isn't), she shouldn't force him into being this way for her or expect him to change.

He lied to her about having something planned, so clearly he didn't forget, he was just too lazy to plan for something that's clearly very important to her. Not to mention, how does he forget something that he proposed to do every month? Like I said, if she's the type to put in the effort of remembering and planning every month, her partner should be able to do the same too. It's not some grueling effort or impossible standard to meet.
If it's too stressful for him, he should just say so and she can decide what to do from there.

Sometimes you just forget something.

I'm not saying he couldn't have been in the wrong here but I see no reason to say he's 100%, without a doubt, lied to her. It's possible, not definite. Sometimes you forget shit idk why that's so hard to conceptualize for you.

You could have approached this better, but you are not wrong. Monthly anniversaries should only be a big deal when your in high school. Timing forced displays of affection (every month) seems a bit… too much as grown adults. Kinda like an emotional bill due every 30 days. Maybe its so important to OP because of personal insecurities and needing validation refreshed after 4 weeks. Maybe op should reflect why this is so important and why couldn't you just plan little holidays/adventures together. Needing the proof of love every month makes it seem like theres not enough affection in the first place.

No. 251819

>>251761
Once you hit the year mark I feel like you tend to space it out more even if monthly celebrations were the norm before. You say you're dating a year so maybe you're just transitioning into that routine but communication was poor on his end.

Other factors could be.. is money tight for him atm? Or does he associate anniversaries with guaranteed anniversary sex and has that changed lately? Sometimes a large part of why guys even love V day and anniversary dates is getting rewarded with alot of sexual enthusiasm after the celebrations. A pattern I've always noticed in mine and my friends relationships is that the normal slight slowing down of sex and the easing of big romatic gestures tend to go hand in hand. Not even necessarily in a bad way but you don't keep that same energy forever.

Now he seemingly hasn't done anything to make it up to her and hasn't broached the topic further. If he doesn't want to put in consistent effort (like she was) he should move on instead of her having to lower her expectations.

It's possible he's just gotten comfortable and stopped caring about showing his affection this way (which is understandable, it can get tiring being in the puppy-love phase for too long) but he needs to communicate that to you. You have to decide for yourself if you're alright moving to a different phase in your relationship, or if you'd rather leave and find someone who will match your efforts and romantic gestures 100%.

Anyways just because you don't plan something once a month doesn't mean you can't have nice moments/experiences together, maybe just space things out

Women are brainwashed by the beauty and skincare industry to think we need 10 products to prevent aging. In reality, pre-mature aging is by and large prevented by leading a life-long, consistently healthy lifestyle (plenty of excersise, nutricious diet every day), not smoking/drinking/doing drugs and wearing spf. You can't overcome an unhealthy lifestyle by layering creams and acids on your skin and if you do lead a healthy lifestyle you don't need more than a moisturizer and maybe specialized products to battle skinproblems specific to the person.

Nonas can you give me your opinion on what to do with this guy?
I've been seeing him for some time, he's really into me but I'm not sure. We haven't done more than a kiss.
Pros:
>we have so much to talk about the conversation never stops
>he likes the same games as me, same videos on YouTube, it's creepy how much similar we are
>I feel at ease with him and conversation comes naturally, even though I can be autistic about talking to guys
>wants to pay for everything even though I offer to split
>loves cooking (I hate it so it's a good match)
>seems gentle enough
>educated, works, good career
>tries really hard, changes opinions a bit for me kek and gets pretty nervous with me
>makes effort to see me all the time
Cons:
>not sure I'm attracted enough… I think he's a bit below what I'm used to date looks-wise
>no physical activity now (used to be active a lot in past)
>spends too much time on Internet, gaming, possibly frequents some imageboards (I do too but not sure both partners should be like that)
>lied about his age on tinder (he's a year younger than he said, making him 5 years younger than me, we're in our 20s)
>I feel like he might be insecure and sometimes puts me down (but I'm a person that gets offended easily)

I feel like he's not a perfect match but after a year of shitty tinder/irl dating, it's the first time I feel happier because we just have such fun conversations and text all the time. It's very natural.
Should I continue seeing him while still searching? I don't wanna cheat so I can't do that if he wanted to become official…

There's this guy that I kinda like but I'm convinced that 98% of men will take the opportunity to cheat when it's presented to them, no matter how great the relationship is. I have pretty good self-confidence but I think most men chase other women because they have issues, not their partner. I just don't want to get involved with somebody but then have them cheat on me. I'm pretty good on my own but there's just nothing that can replace a romantic relationship for me.

To be honest, a lot of men think this way too. My ex drove himself crazy because I had a coworker who was male and he would stalk my fb messenger and my texts to see if we're talking about things other than work. We ended up breaking up because his paranoia just got too much.

It's a human trait not a gendered trait. Women cheat as much as men do and it all comes down to the individual.
You have overall insecurities about getting cheated on, so you should probably work on that a lot more than you are now. If you end up having relationships and just being paranoid all the time you'll drive yourself insane and potentially lose yourself a nice partner.

I just genuinely don't know what to address and how to work on it though? It's not that I think I'm not good enough, I just fear being with someone who doesn't care about being faithful when it comes to them and I don't know how to be certain that someone isn't like that?

> I just fear being with someone who doesn't care about being faithful
And thats the overall fear that will drive you crazy your entire relationship whether you 'trust' the person or not. Also your friends experiences have now tainted your outlook on relationships going forward. I used to be like you especially when I was younger, and I guess for me its all about gut feelings and actually working on your mental health, specifically anti anxiety stuff like meditation before bed.
Meditation is great and allows you to take strange thoughts or paranoia and channel it into something else. If you ever get into a relationship with this logic you train yourself to think that every text your bf gets MUST be from another woman because thats how you've programmed yourself now. And thats not a fun way to be in any relationship either with a man or woman (again, my ex was like this and we just couldn't have a quiet night together at one point in the relationship when he just got too spooked about me 24/7 even though I was faithful)
Its also kind of a gut feeling type of thing. Once you're with someone you sort of 'know' if their love is pure for you, so you should try listening to your 'gut feeling' a lot too.

But otherwise there's no 'true' advice on how to know if your partner is cheating or not. Sure I can suggest you be toxic and check their phone and computer every single day and night (im sure you can do it like once a year, I think everyone does it to eachother at some point or another in a relationship), or I can tell you to learn to manage your emotion and trust levels with other people and life will take care of the rest. If I knew a tree would fall on me tomorrow I would avoid the forest. But how can I ever really know?

Ntayrt but you can never be sure. It sucks I know, but there is only one person you have control of in life and that’s you. A guy may be great for years then throw it all away in a day. Might cheat once and hide it from you for the rest of your life. You can literally never be 100% certain. You can take measures to feel relatively confident they won’t, like vetting for honesty, consistency, effort, transparency, good treatment of family and women in general, positive friend group, communication and all that. If they’ve repeatedly gone above and beyond your expectations over an extended period of time they probably won’t. I think >>252091 point is sound though. If cheating is a huge concern for you then you either get to the point you’re willing to take the risk on someone or else just not date. Not being flippant, but it’s like the only way to totally avoid getting an STD is not to have sex. You can and should take precautions, but sometimes things still happen. You have to have the confidence and outlook to know you could pick yourself back up and move on, not let it negatively impact your life for ages afterwards. Even more than that, it’s not something you’d want to negatively impact your life before it happens or despite the fact it may never happen.

Of course I don't, but my very close friends were very open to me about it (even if some things were embarassing and too TMI) and the problem most of them had, was that their partners weren't genuine about communicating properly. They were either dishonest about their needs/ desires/ low self-esteem or other things about the relationship that would eventually lead to them cheating. I'm not saying that these women were perfect in their relationship either but for me there's nothing that justifies cheating.

My best friend for example, went above and beyond to make the relationship work, and it seemed to be going well for a while because he kept telling her he could feel the spark again, meanwhile he was doing it with a co-worker for months because she'd to things in bed that my best friend wouldn't but he'd reassure her how it's okay that she's not into that.

I don't want to sound mopey and I'm sorry if I do, it's just that so many men have disappointed me and those who are close to me (family members, friends, partners etc) that it has soured my look on things but ofc I know I'll have to get over it somehow if I want a relationship. And by "disappointed" I mean in terms of fidelty and honesty when it comes to relationships.

I know, not all men, enough women do it too. It's just that the ratio of how many men I'm close to (good friends, family members) and of how many of them are lying cheaters is just too high for me.

I agree, even though I obviously don't condone it. Most men who cheat however just want to have their cake and eat it too. They want a relationship and partner that gives them stability, that they can show off and that earns them societal approval. Men are obsessed with status. If the relationship lacks something, they'd rather keep up the facade and cheat than address it and potentially end the relationship.

Thing is, most of the time it doesn't even lack anything. Mostly I've seen ugly old moids with young beautiful caring wives who cheated on them with ugly as fuck women, no random whore can provide much as the mother of his children but he still decides to fuck her over. Men do it as a powermove when women do it as a way to cope with actual relationship problems when they can't leave for reasons. Men also cheat when their wives are pregnant or just given birth, that's how sick their cheating habits are while for women it's a desperate search for someone to adore her, which is always unsuccessful, because she feels alienated and unloved in her relationship. I'm a bit loaded about this topic but I simply despise how women who cheat because of reasonable reasons, such as physically abusive husbands, get shit for it while men get forgiven all the time. It's like women don't deserve to be happy and give up everything for their relationship while moids are free to fuck around and the wife should just forgive him.

I had a guy cheat on me after three years of living together. Sometimes I find people are quick to assume that there's always warning signs and you can watch out and always totally avoid bad situations like that but shit does just blindisde you sometimes and that's a harsh reality of dating and putting trust in someone. I don't like to talk about this too much irl because it's amazing how people find a way to blame the person who got cheated on.. I didn't have a crystal ball. I wasn't a mind reader. He was a good cheater. He covered his tracks and appeared like he was planning a whole future with me. It happens and it can be so nonsensical to the injured partner left behind. We were having sex often, we were making plans and making them happen, his other woman was somehow everything he had always said he didn't want in a partner, from her body type to her having kids to her having partners still half in the picture to her not working and taking benefits to her smoking.. on and on, all these things he had been vocal about avoiding in gfs. I can't make it make sense. No way could I ever of predicted that with muh skills.

More than anything I just don't want his behaviour to give me issues that I'll carry into the next relationship. I can get over the few years I wasted on him, I'm pretty much there but I'd almost rather be blindisded again than live in fear and ruin a good thing. Some people are obvious and give out signs but there's only so much that you can read a person.

I'm so sorry he put you through this but thank you for your insight because this is exactly the thing I fear the most in a relationship. Some people are just that good at hiding things from you and sometimes even your gut instinct doesn't seem to pick up on anything weird but then it just hits you like a ton of bricks when it happens.

This also happend to one of my aunts(even down to the part about cheating with someone who he claimed was not his type at all) and we all felt like a wave was crashing over us, not just my aunt, because we've all been lied to by her husband and not just regarding his cheating. He was basically living two lives and suddenly we all started questioning if all the moments we've shared with him were ever genuine.

That's really admirable, nonna. I hope that one day I'll be able to feel the same way because my mistrust keeps making me extremely miserable and lonely.

Cheating is as unpredictable as people who get murdered randomly by their partners. You don't know whats going on or whats going on in someones mind until it literally happens to you. Just like in this anons case >>252178

There is no advice, relationships have always just been a huge bungee jump. You either end up having a great time or the chord can break and you plummet. You just never know and you can only work on yourself and your overall outlook on life. You can't change other peoples decisions in the end, only your own reactions and choices.

My boyfriend has been getting on my nerves lately but I am not sure if anything he is doing deserves a break-up. He always complains about the same stuff, e.g. his roommates, the drivers at my apartment complex, and bad drivers on the road, yet he never does anything to address it other than just fuming. He never takes his anger out on me or on physical objects and I never fear for my safety, but it is still annoying to hear him work himself into a lather over things he cannot change, like inconsiderate drivers or poorly parked cars. Also, I hate asking him how to do things because in his desire to be helpful and thorough, he gives overly long-winded explanations that go into too much detail and leave me more confused than when I started. His stories are similar, and I find it very hard to pay attention when he begins to ramble. Lastly, despite being a very capable cook, whenever we cook from a recipe he is afraid to deviate from the instructions and trust his own judgement - even if we have made that recipe before. His fastidiousness ends up costing a lot of time since he keeps referring back to his phone and asking me a bunch of questions that I am frankly no more qualified to answer than he is. As someone with diagnosed executive function disorders, I feel like I ought to be more forgiving of these tendencies, but on the other hand it is annoying to live with someone who makes so much noise about nothing all the time. I would not even know where to begin addressing any of these complaints without being overly blunt and making him upset.

i've been girlfriends with this girl for three months now and for the most part it has been great but two weekends in a row she’s done things that have really hurt me and i’m struggling to figure out what to do in this situation.

the first weekend after we had dinner together she called one of her friends to go out with us to go clubbing and it was all fine at first until she got really drunk. this guy came up to us and started talking to my girlfriend and they had a casual conversation before he gave her his instagram and she accepted. I’m not a super jealous person so i didn’t think too much of it until later in the night he tried to kiss her but she rejected him. it just got crazier as the night went on and while we were dancing she started grinding on some guy and i pulled her off, and then at some point we got separated for what felt like no time at all and when we found each other again she exclaimed how 3 people kissed her. i knew we just had to leave at that point even when she was complaining she didn’t want to go and i made sure she got in an uber before i left.

the next day i told her how hurt i was about everything and she was really apologetic and promised me it would never happen again and i chose to believe her, but then the next weekend we went out again and it was all normal until i had to leave early to do uni work. she called me the next day crying saying how she made out with a girl and how she was so sorry and how she didn’t want to lose me. i’m really easily swayed by people being emotional like that so i told her just to calm down and we would figure it all out.

one thing that put me off when she texted me later about it was how she said she blocked the girl that ‘seduced’ her on instagram. it just feels so weird that she’s trying to put some of the blame on this girl that she chose to make out with.

it’s all made more difficult because before this all went down we booked flights to go to my family’s holiday apartment in three weeks with her best friend that i’ve gotten close to over these past months. i just don’t know if i have it in me now to hang out with her for a whole week. she offered to just let me and her friend go and she can stay behind while i figure everything out but i’m just hesitant to do that because i’m not sure how awkward it would be with just me and her because we’ve never really hung out just one on one. i don’t want to cancel the whole trip because it’ll be unfair on my girlfriend’s best friend and she’ve been really excited to go.

typing this all out now i may seem like such a dumbass for still being with her but i’ve gotten into a routine in my life with her in it and i’m so used to her being there for me that i can’t imagine her not being my girlfriend. i’m 19 and she’s the second partner i’ve ever had so maybe that has something to do with it. i just need some help or guidance in this situation because i don’t have anyone close to in this situation to give me advice.

I can relate to this looking back on a past partner. Even when a guy isn't raging at you or full on taking shit out on you it can feel like alot if they're venting frustrations all the time with an angry tone. And when it's stuff like bad drivers on the roads getting to them it's time to work on taking a few breaths and learning how to soothe yourself sometimes. There's a shitload of books and techniques out there where people recognize they're handling lifes daily stressors poorly and they address it. See if you can suggest something like that without him taking offense.

girl you need to break up with her. it seems like you’re viewing this through the fallacy of sunk costs and i think that is making you unhappy. like the fact that she kissed other ppl when you were not okay with it and seemed to be playing along with the flirting of other people is seriously messed up.

you’re only 19 and you still have so many people you’ve yet to meet, experiences to have etc. it sounds cheesy but it’s true. you need to ask yourself if you’re really wanting her to be the one for you.

plus you’ve only been together for 3 months. get out now lol. if you stay together i’m sure resentment is going to build up and honestly it seems like you’re setting yourself up to be hurt. this girl clearly doesn’t care about you as much as you care about her and she doesn’t respect your feelings, that much is clear.

I was in a relationship just like this at your age. We did the same betraying, confronting, apologising, forgiving, doing-it-all-over-again dance for years. It absolutely sucked the life out of me. I can say with absolute certainty leaving my ex behind was the beginning of my first "mental growth spurt," so to speak. If you're worried about being inexperienced and immature, this is your cue to trust your intuition and grow up.
Stop making excuses for her, and don't make them for yourself either. How low is your self-esteem? Do you deserve to be mistreated? What right does she have to hurt you? Where is your self-respect? Why doesn't she respect you? If a friend of yours was having the same problem, what would you tell her to do? Be a friend to yourself and make the choice that you already know is right.
I am so much better off without my ex because I no longer waste energy worrying over what awful thing she's going to do to me next. Yes, she's part of your routine. Are you going to let her hurting you become normal too, so that she can further degrade your boundaries? Or are you going to get out now that she's shown you who she really is?
She cheated on you. Repeatedly. She lied about being sorry. She lied about never doing it again— even though once is already reason enough to split. Is that the kind of person who you want to be "irreplaceable" in your life?
I'm sorry if I sound harsh. I just don't want you to make the same mistakes I did.

TLDR if you are posting about her in Lolcow vent/advice threads, it's already over. Cut your losses and go.

I really love him so I can tolerate him playing but not him staying up late everyday he can. I think this is going to be a big problem and I asked him if he's ever going to bed with me at 10pm and he said no. I feel really bad about this.

I used to have a bad sleep schedule but when I lived with my last partner and he had to have a decent bedtime set for work I would get into bed with him at 10, we'd cuddle, chat, fool around, fuck, cuddle again and I'd get up after he fell asleep. Then I'd go watch dumb youtube vids in the living room for a bit. That worked for us. We needed to still have that quality time.

I was the fucking dumbass on the MtF thread joking about my bf watching tranny porn occasionally, and everyone umderstandably went off on me how he WILL troon out too despite acting like he hates trannies too.

Idk what to do, I fear they are actually right. He does not seem like a huge coomer or anything, and I doubt he would go fuck one behind my back. He is bisexual, though since his mother is a muslim convert he still has a lot of denial of it. I'm bisexual too, and his sexuality is one if the reasons I was interested in a serious relationship. And this is the fact that will make most of you angry, but I am myself interested in an open relationship and have told him he can fuck other people if he wants, I don't give a shit.

He has told me he is not interested in fucking other people at all though. He does not seem the type to troon out but idk anymore, you never can tell these days. How do I ask sneakily enough if he still watches tranny porn without seeming psychotic with my hatred of men in dresses? Asking would only lead to him hiding it from me I'm quite certain. I have 0 trust a woman can make their male partner from watching porn. Pretty sure even if nonnas here claim their lil moidies don't watch it, they still do behind their backs.

I'm losing my fucking mind. Anyway, please spare me your "whore cunt bihet degenarate bitch" replirs, I already know I should kys for being like this waah waah

i'll try to put this as nicely as possible kek. first of all,
>he doesn't seem like a huge coomer or anything
you're seriously okay with him watching tranny porn, even occasionally? if he watches it it turns him on, so he's either an agp and gets sexually aroused by troons and the thought of being one, or if he watches mtf tranny porn he might be a closeted gay guy. there's really no other reason for a guy to be watching tranny porn, especially if he claims he "hates" them
>And this is the fact that will make most of you angry, but I am myself interested in an open relationship and have told him he can fuck other people if he wants, I don't give a shit.
at the end of the day it's your decision and your relationship, but in my experience, guys that seek open relationships are usually coomers and not great people to be in relationships with. if he doesn't even have enough self-restraint to keep his dick in his pants while in a relationship with someone he loves then he's not worth your time.
>I have 0 trust a woman can make their male partner from watching porn. Pretty sure even if nonnas here claim their lil moidies don't watch it, they still do behind their backs.
just because a lot of men do it behind women's backs doesn't mean we should be okay with it or encourage it kek. it's your relationship, you're supposed to set the boundaries. who knows, maybe you have a guy that actually respects you and would be willing not to be a coomer to protect your relationship (though by your description it doesn't sound like it)

do you care about him watching specifically tranny porn, or porn in general?

>I have 0 trust a woman can make their male partner from watching porn. Pretty sure even if nonnas here claim their lil moidies don't watch it, they still do behind their backs.


I sort of agree and disagree with you here, there are actually men who don't watch it at all but the chances of a moid watching and lying about porn are just overall higher than him genuinely finding it disgusting and not watching it at all, thanks to the average male's inability to better himself and just have empathy for exploited women.
You can also block porn via your internet router settings, it's usually called "child safe settings" or something along those lines. I have pornography blocked by default on mine and I'm the only one who knows the password. I don't know if it's possible to bypass that shit with a vpn though?
In regards to the tranny thing as well: there's a very short slippery slope involved. It starts with tranny porn, they find out about sissy stuff, and then for whatever fucked up reason they decide they may actually be a woman or just get off to the thought of that. This happens even with men who seem very traditionally masculine and "non-coomer". The effect that porn has on the brain is underestimated and extremely damaging.
Unless I've misunderstood you and you're okay with him watching porn, I'd seriously just look into blocking all access to it first. The fact he's already watching tranny stuff, even if it's just "sometimes", indicates to me it's probably not the only weird 'genres' he's into, but I don't want to assume things about him nor your relationship.

Honestly… The cultural fixation on cheating seems really juvenile to me. Basically everyone cheats or has been/will be embroiled in some jealousy saga involving friends or co-workers or old flames or charismatic strangers at the charity event etc. Haven't you ever read Anna Karenina? In my experience, the only thing you can do is accept that nothing is permanent, everything can change -your boyfriend is probably more likely to step in front of traffic and die from a terrible accident than he is to find himself in the perfect scenario for him to cheat on you, and what then? You will lose him as well. He might just dump you. A war might happen. Why on earth is this person guaranteed to you and what makes you think he should be? Just live your life and love the people you happen to love because that's the whole point of human attraction. Build something with him that's worthwhile because it's worth your while to do so, but the next chapter of your life can and will start at a moment's notice and that's true for everyone and it seems kind of petulant to me to be so fixated on cheating as the WORST sin when really it's just that someone took something of yours… Quite a natural part of life if you ask me. I'm not trying to condone cheating but I just feel like the hyper focused element of human jealousy gives it a special status in our angry, grieving hearts when really it's just another part of life.

anons are being absolutely ridiculous in face of the facts here. according to the available statistics, at most around 0,3% of the population is a transitioning mtf. meanwhile, tranny porn is so damn popular among bi and "straight" men that it should be obvious that 99% of them don't end up trooning out, the numbers just don't add up.

now, how you feel about him watching porn you don't approve of is another thing, but it's your relationship, you have to know how much it bothers you and where your boundaries are. breaking up with your real life bf to appeal to the ideal standards of anonymous internet strangers you've never met is retarded.

He might not troon out himself but that doesn't mean he isn't an AGP and has a fetish.
It all comes down to what the op is comfortable with as we've said previously. If you're ok with him fetishizing troons as long as he doesn't transition himself, then that's on you. If the relationship genuinely makes you happy then that's the most important thing, right? I read your posts on the MTF thread and you also mentioned wanting to fuck around and be in an open relationship, so obviously you guys work pretty well with each other.

Thanks for responding nicely anons and not calling me a whore lol. Idk if it came across that I support his tranny or whatever porn habit at all but like I said, I do not trust any moid's ability to NOT watch it. He would just watch it in secret (not that he openly does it now) and bitch to his friends how I'm controlling. I also do not want to be like a fucking parent to him and limit his wifi access like for a child, good god. He is also technically more advanced than me and we both have unlimited phone internet.

Oh he doesn't want an open relationship at all, he's very jealous (while I'm not at ALL). I'm the degenerate one here, though I'm trying to get rid of that desire but it is quite hard. Idk maybe I'm a porn brain melted coomer too.

I don't see the problem with blocking porn on the internet settings - it's a child-safe by name but I don't see the issue in blocking it if you're against porn for whatever reason. I have it blocked because I don't ever want that exploitative shit to come up, and I don't want anyone visiting or staying at my home thinking they can look at that content, boyfriend or not. I think imo it's perfectly acceptable to block websites which quite literally host degenerate fetishes and illegal content. More people should do it.

I just want them to be honest with me instead of cheating behind my back because communication,trust and honesty are some of the most important things in a relationship for me. How else am I supposed to build something worthwhile in a monogamous relationship with somebody? If someone can't be honest with you about this matter then how do you expect them to be honest with you about anything else? Also, cheating is a choice, in my opnion.

Could he compromise and go to bed with you at least some days of the week? I can relate to the other anon who likes staying up late and having alone time. It could be suffocating to have that expected every night, but even like 3 or 4 days out of the week seems like a reasonable expectation. Besides, it’s not like you got to sleep immediately at 10. It sounds like you just want to get comfortable and spend time with him before you go to sleep. Partnerships are all about compromise so if he isn’t willing to do that for you then you have a right to feel angry and hurt.

My girlfriends think that my bf is acting shady because he doesn't ever post photos of us on any of his social media. He's a photographer so he says he only posts his art on social media (which is true, all his stuff is his art stuff) but the fact he doesn't even have 1 photo of us together (of JUST us, not with friends as well) is odd.
But the stupid thing is he'll post his gym selfies on his insta stories constantly. So why can he never post a pic of us on his stories or his feed…
We also like rarely go out, ever. Granted, covid and all, but seriously, like never. We've been dating for like 6 years now too and he's been like this since the start.

There's also a bunch of small things. tldr I don't really feel like he 'wants' me. He hugs me/kisses me when I come home from work or w.e, or we cuddle, but we have sex like maybe once a week if that and it's never been this bad. He doesn't really put effort into the relationship like I do.

I've known him for a long time and before he was with me he was with another girl who he posted photos of themselves together all the time. It honestly makes me feel super insecure and down, I used to feel pretty happy with my body and what not, ate well and worked out a lot, but I can feel like my mental health dipping and myself restricting/working out several times a day because I can't help but feel like it's because I'm not good enough.

Anyway our big fight was me kind of unloading all that at him. He basically told me it wasn't true and trying to give me evidence against it but like, I just can't help what I feel. It sucks because I obviously love him but I don't think I can keep going in a relationship where it seriously feels like he's lowkey cheating on me at worst, or at best, fantasizing about his ex gf. I know.. I'm stupid. I get it.

I was going to give him a chance based on what he was going to say today but I think you girls and my friends are right. I need to trust my gut and try to heal from this mess.

If you have any suggestions on good movies or shows to watch to deal with this break up shit please let me know lol if not I'm just gunna crawl under a rock and cry myself to sleep.

I've been dating my bf for 4 years, we are in our 20s and this is the first relatoship for both of us. Everything was amazing until 3 month ago he confesed to me he sexted a 14 year old when he was 18. At first he didn't know her age but didn't stop when he did. This has broke me in such a way that I don't know how to keep going. I was sexually abused as a child and he's been with me through all these years of therapy. He never told me this because he knew i'll break me. He says i'm in my right to leave him but I love him. He used to be terminally online at 18 (just like me) and this girl was one of the first "friends" he ever had.
He's super sweet and overall a great boyfriend, quitted porn when we got together and started going to therapy since he told me. I genuinely think we love each other but I just feel sick knowing he used to be THAT kind of person. Even tho I know for sure he's not anymore

I can't help but feel like shit and so sexually frustrated because my boyfriend and I never have sex. Part of it is down to my vaginismus and self image making sex feel like a humiliating chore and honestly, sometimes I feel like he just doesn't find me that sexually attractive anymore. I gained weight over lockdown but I'm weightlifting 4x a week at the gym now, but idk it feels like that primal urge (sorry if that sounds cringe) or lust isn't there anymore. I constantly think about him sexually, but I sort of think he doesn't feel the same towards me anymore. I don't even know what to do and being spontaneous is difficult because of vaginismus…having to "prep" sexual contact and train my body not to seize up is fucking exhausting. I feel like a huge part of what makes me feel loved and wanted in a relationship is dying off and I'm just looking at it hopelessly because my body is broken and I feel like I'm forgotten about sexually.
Is there any hope for me nonnies? I feel so abnormal and embarrassed.

This is really cringe but I have to vent about it somewhere. I think I met my soulmate online but I’m obviously not 100% sure he is. He just has a scary amount of things in common with me but his personality is completely different than mine and I feel like we compliment each other. Like we literally have the most niche insane things in common and he’s really fucking cute. He called me for the first time last night and we talked for 2 hours!!! Is this good? He hasn’t texted me at all today but I plan on ignoring him indefinitely until he seems interested. How do I not chase/have enough confidence in myself to be okay with it if he doesn’t ever talk to me again? I’m this close to being done with men forever hence why I’m here.

I'm so proud of you anon, you do deserve everything you crave in a relationship and I fully believe in time you'll be so much happier you let go of someone who wasn't on your level. You should never be invalidated for wanting someone who improves your life rather than being a continual source of disappointment and stress. Maybe it's just me, but seeing or reading any romance-related media right after the split was way too painful. I know everyone hates Reddit, but honestly this post has good advice and this sort of content was more helpful in realizing other people had been through similar things and I could get through it too: https://www.reddit.com/r/BreakUps/comments/7k7nqd/harsh_truths_and_tips_for_moving_forward/
It is okay to mourn the loss of the relationship and miss the good times, but try to always keep perspective and counter the positive thoughts with memories of his shadiness and lack of effort. The goal isn't to keep your ex on a pedestal nor paint him black, but just to remember he was a fallible person who was not the right fit for you. In moving on you are opening yourself up to much better opportunities in the future.

I have never been with a partner who has vaginismus but I have been with others who had trauma surrounding sex or didn't always feel up for penetration, and all I can say is that there's no excuse for you and your boyfriend not to enjoy physical intimacy. Even if you can't always have PIV sex or that particular act is too stressful right now. Please do not feel broken or ashamed about dealing with mental triggers. With the right person, I promise they will not care and will work with you. I was so happy to do whatever my ex was comfortable with whether it oral, using hands, dirty talking, or just general intimate stuff like kissing, cuddling and massages. To me there is never any excuse to feel unsexy and undesired in a relationship. If it's lacking that then it's not serving one of its main intended purposes. Yes, you should work on improving your self image, but there's something to be said for having a partner who is genuinely excited to be with you in whatever capacity you're able to give. To me, your post reads like you really want to enjoy your sexuality but are struggling, and imo your boyfriend barely putting in effort and not doing anything to alleviate the stress surrounding the act will only compound those issues. Please don't settle for someone who is not consistently showing up for you. Also, the partner I had who dealt with intimacy issues greatly improved. It took time but it happened. You can absolutely do the same.

Stay busy, consistently do mental exercises to strengthen your self esteem so you love/prioritize yourself more than any other person, have plenty of goals and hobbies outside of the dating world, get excited about your own life to the point that a good man would simply be a cherry on top instead of the whole ice cream.

>used to fuck this guy on and off
>we were also really good friends the whole time, I mean years
>reasons for not fucking often varied between moving to different towns, being in relationships, just preoccupation with life, and an understanding that we wouldn't ever be anything more so natural fatigue
>my current boyfriend of 2 years has at one point seen this guy and I a d knows we used to fuck and this really triggered him as we have a lot of obvious chemistry which I completely understand and was sympathetic to his jealousy
>unofficially just stopped ever talking to this guy out of respect for my bf as we had quite a fairly established precedent of going cold/quiet on each other due to all manner of circumstances and kind of respect that, occasionally years of not talking even
>this guy recently reached out to me as he is in a new city (mine) with no friends and having a hard time and he asked to catch up with me and my boyfriend - he's a really oblivious and kind of naive extrovert so I know this seems reasonable to him and frankly he can get girls just fine so I know he doesn't need to go back through old flames or anything
>I know for a fact that my boyfriend will absolutely not go for this, he will completely veto the idea and it will definitely blow up if I ever even mentioned it because he is quite a jealous person which he deals with as best he can and holds himself accountable for his feelings but this would be a lot for him
So… The question is.. even though I really don't mind doing it, I really don't. But do I just completely ghost this guy? I would honestly have no problem under any other circumstances but this guy was and has been a really good friend to me and doing so feels kind of really callous and brutal but if I'm being honest I think if I even replied to this guy and told him why I couldn't and did the courtesy of telling him the upfront truth my boyfriend would still be pissed at me and just definitely overwhelmed.

Maybe some of you remember my post on the last thread about my friends being too much & overbearing, and me investing too much time into their lives instead of mine. I can't find my old post, but I have an update!
A few weeks ago, I finally set up some boundaries. After a few days of spending a lot of time together again, I withdrew myself because of stress / not feeling well. That did not sit well with all of them, and I had to have a talk about my boundaries. About time management issues I have, and how I want to make MY life better.
I explained myself, how I need time to myself and that it has nothing to do with me not liking them at all.
Half of my friends took it really well and are cheering me on, the other half is pissed, I guess? They feel entitled to me telling them beforehand if I don't want to meet up, even if there aren't any plans made yet, and that does not really make sense to me. I think I let them have too much of me for too long, and now I have to pay the prize.

Either way, I finally set some boundaries and I feel good about it.

No. 252643

I agree with the anon who says he wants to see if you're still "on" with him even though you're in a relationship. He's trying to check out how it is going. Whether you like it or not, both of you have shown to each other that you both have an ongoing relationship that is still "on" in a sense during relationships - it's not truly "off" since you both can expect what will happen in the event either of you break up with a partner. It's a kind of loyalty layer that transcends your relationships. I suspect you will only be free if this friendship ends, most people would consider that a major red flag.

Congrats anon, I'm proud of you! Honestly I think relationship advice should extend to friend advice too because it can be really difficult to navigate healthy friendships (or maybe I'm just socially inept). I'm so happy to hear that you did it and feel good about it. I guess people have different needs, but we don't have to cater to all of them. Maybe some of your friends need someone who is going to be super available and if that's not you anymore then that's not your problem.

That's very tough nonna, I'm so sorry. I am sure that other anons will disagree but if you really are sure that he has changed, and you guys have a close and communicative relationship, then I think you could get past this together. Maybe try broaching the idea of accessing/monitoring his computer for example so you can regain trust again over time? If he has nothing to hide and is truly sorry he would probably permit it. Ik other anons might disagree but I hope you're ok, give yourself time to adjust to this shock and if you really trust in his change and want to keep fighting for the relationship I think it can be done. I think the fact that he told you, and if he seems truly torn up about it, suggests a commitment to closeness with you rather than hiding the secret for longer.

He's a hebephile, only a hebephile would go after and sext with underages girls, taking the legal risk because it's a paraphilia he has to satisfy. He'll lose interest in you and attempt cheat on you with younger girls if you keep dating him because by going along this, you will accept his attraction to underaged girls being valid. It's up to you but you should realize that no man who sexts with a child is a good person and that he's probably going to cheat on you or consume cp in the future. It's even worse if you have kids.

for the sake of yourself and any future partners (because i'm hoping the creatura you're with right now is going to be an ex soon… right?): don't. the feelings and attractions towards other people won't just go away, you will end up feeling trapped and unfulfilled and it will be no one's fault but your own for trying to suppress yourself and not communicating your needs. worst case scenario, you will end up breaking the trust of someone you love. absolutely do not do this with him because a jealous person and a troon is not only someone you should already not be dating but also the worst person to try and be open with (you know the jokes about troon disaster polycules). but this kind of thing is totally normal these days and a lot more common than most people suspect. don't let the fear of looking silly on lolcow dictate how you live your life, you only get one.

Thank you, I’m surprised by anons defending this guy. Is the fact he’s “sweet” enough to override the fact he’s a pedo? There are millions of sweet guys in the world who wouldn’t have attempted to groom a child. Have some standards. The fact he’s waited so long to tell op about this knowing how it would (rightfully) affect her now that she’s years into the relationship and emotionally invested in him is selfish and manipulative. I’d also guess he’s hiding some nasty stuff on his phone or computer. Also
>20s
>first relationship
Very very few people stay with the same partner they met in their teens/20s throughout life just because we change so much as people during this time. Op also has no experience with other men and while I’m not saying she needs to date 50 guys to know what she wants, there is a certain level of don’t give a fuck-ness one obtains once you break yourself of the idea that there is only one person who is right for you and realize you don’t have to settle for the first man who ever showed interest, especially when he’s done something this gross.

id hate to play devils advocate but both 14 and 18 are high school ages. Its gross af but even if he wasn't looking for minors on social media he still would have found one in high school.
17-18 year old boys dating 14-15 year old freshmen in HS is very common. Its wrong but it is very common and normalized.

because 19 is a college age and men over that age actively search for minors and prey on them.

Moids sharing their ex's nudes or even current gf's in their social circles or posting them online or using them to blackmail them to get revenge or keeping them to jack off to even after they've broken up is not a rarity. It's happened to too many women who honest to god thought their men were to be trusted with their nudes, it's shockingly common. In my opinion women should never send nudes no matter how much they think their partners can be trusted. But since he's already in possesion of your nudes I guess it doesn't matter in your case.

You really should have a conversation with your gf about the behaviour of her friend (without that friend present). She's manipulative and a negative influence on your relationship. You probably know but someone who regularly threatens with suicide isn't suicidal, they're just attention seekers. She's manipulating your gf for her time and attention. I know it's probably going to be hard to have that conversation because she (the friend) will probably go "She's just trying to break our friendship, She's jealous of our friendship" etc. afterwards but you should really do it before she drives a wedge between you two.

I don't know how to feel about this. Honestly I wouldn't leave him for any physical reasons but I think he's really immature and this situation is one of many that highlights that. I mean in the sense that he's 45 years old and doesn't seem to have taken much ownership of his life in general.
He didn't even know he was colorblind until he met me. I innocently discovered it while watching YT with him and confirmed with a color test. His diet is shit. He makes excuses when it comes to exercise. Sure he's not fat-fat but he isn't in shape either and evidently has health issues that he'd rather avoid. He acts like a baby about being told he's not perfect instead of feeling relief for finally having an answer and adapting his lifestyle accordingly.

He spends frivilously then complains to me about money. I make more money than he does and yet he does nothing to try to earn more himself because he knows he would have to work more like I do. He constantly wants me to give him asspats for slaving at retail when he has two degrees he doesn't use. When I suggest he apply for other work if not for shits and giggles to see what he could get, he finds a reason why it wouldn't be a good fit. He only wants to be a writer–which he has no portfolio nor marketing exp for in a STEM-dominated area–but even then he barely writes even as a hobby. He isn't realistic about it. He doesn't even seem to feel remotely ashamed that he makes so little money. He's very stubborn.

He's lazy. He'll do housework but most of the time I have to ask. Most times things are half-assed. He acts more tired than me and more pressed even though I work more hours and sleep less than he does. Even having a child with him makes me nervous because he does the bare minimum for our puppy and doesn't like to be inconvenienced or bothered by mild pet antics. I know if I had a baby with him as things are now, I'd be doing it alone.

He's paranoid of every man I'm around and hints about them wanting me and cheating. He's obsessed with me in every facet. He clings to me whenever I'm home while barely giving me any personal space, and gets hurt if I don't give affection. Not the best sex either, which I now hope is explained by the possible genetic condition, but at least he's willing to play a toy on me and he doesn't ask me for anything so there's that.

I really hope he gets a klinefelter diagnosis. If hormonal therapy can help and maybe address some of these issues that I perceive as immaturity, then I think he deserves that chance.
Apparently men with klinefelter tend to be low energy, sensitive, chubby, and have mental illnesses like depression, adhd, and anxiety. He has other symptoms that match. I really do believe he has it.
If not, then I fear the worst for our relationship.
It would read to me like he's well aware that he is being a drag, but rather than try to get on my level, hopes that I won't leave. Right now I can't leave because of financial reasons, but if I can pay down my debt and earn more, then there's little doubt I'd want to leave if he cannot change.

That’s very considerate of you nonnie, you must love him very much.
As someone that dealt with something similar, low energy, depression, brain fog brought on by illness it can be very difficult to recognize that medication/treatment is the first step. Hopefully with medical intervention his energy will pick up and along with it his mood but he will need to make lifestyle changes. Eating better, exercising. Naming the problem is the first step but he will still potentially need years to fully recover and reach his best health.
Plenty of others have given you the sunk cost line but it is ultimately up to you as you are the one living the situation. What will you do if 5 years from now he’s on medication but made no attempts to change anything else? What is it you hope to get from him recovering somewhat, is it just a pregnancy or a more present and participatory partner? Can you have these discussions with him, just facts about how he sees himself stepping up and improving?
Whatever you choose nonnie I hope you achieve happiness.

If it's something medical then I figure it's good practice as a decent human to give him a chance with medication, you know? I do care about and love him.
Klinefelter can impact cognition apparently too. If he can get some hormonal therapy he may change. I know I changed when I got the right meds, and men used me up and down then abandoned me when I didn't have my shit together.
Besides, it's not like it would be in my best interest to leave as I have a financially fucked situation right now and I'm lucky to have the house and not rent. Unless some rich hunk knocks down my door offering me the world kek.
We're not married and don't even have a date set, it's not like a trial period will put me out like the nuclear option of trying to end this relationship and dissolving assets would. It's complicated and wouldn't be easy.

>what about your child?
I don't know how to feel about this argument. I had awful parents. Father was outright abusive and abandoned me on the side of the street when I was a preteen. My mother parentified me and was a narcissist. Never had a stable homelife or schedule with a single mom who remarried and moved a lot.
All things considered, I think I turned out okay and would be pretty confident I could raise a child better than how I was raised less the neuroses and straight up neglect. It's not a bad household, I just think my partner needs to be more involved and less whiny about it.
The fact that his sperm is dead gives me complete control on the stipulations of if and when we have a child which is even better if it turns out he can't meet me in the middle.

This but most of all: do you really think it's a good idea to have a child with a man who already won't do basic household chores unless you ask and then still half-asses them? He won't help you with raising the child, make no mistake; he won't change. You'll be a full-time working married mother who also does the household and all of the raising of the kids on your own. Don't be like my mom who thought my father would mature once he got his first child, he didn't and she raised basically two kids and a manbaby on her own. And these stories are frightingly common.

Do any men really master domestic chores? I've yet to hear of a relationship where this is the dynamic, usually it is a woman driving the household even if there's a honeymoon period where the man is on his best behavior or steps up temporarily. At best I've just heard of men who aren't as messy to warrant being picked and cleaned up after much. Or they're stay at home dads, but then you've gotta square away that they don't have an income. Which is a big deal as women are still paid less and hit a glass ceiling compared to male earners, although then we get situations like OP where they just don't apply themselves.
This is still culturally common and it's kind of unfair to act like women just haven't searched hard enough for the men who do.

girl, please. while it's entirely possible these are the things bogging him down, literally almost every male expects a bangmaid mommy by default. their retardation is usually not a result of a disorder of sexual development. like fine if she wants to wait it out for meds but i HIGHLY doubt this is down to anything but that men are taught they do not need to accept responsibility or take care of their own lives. our hormonal situation and the way it ineracts with depression and the trauma so women go through is very complicated and rarely comparable to the way men are. it's entirely possible, but he's 45 and spends like shit. that's not uncommon for 45 year old men by any means. in fact, i'd say it's standard male retardation - it's just unacceptable

in my perfect world? don't have kids as a woman with a dude but if you absolutely must, try your best to maximize the upsides i guess. there are literally none here that i can tell other than that he possibly(?)

i just read up on this discussion and honestly, i don't think women should feel like staying single is the worst possible thing that they could endure and that they should find a guy to marry if it's the last thing they do. yes, being "perma single and never breeding with men" is a lot better than being in a relationship with a guy 15 years your senior who can't do basic household chores and will have to be taken care of 24/7 in a couple decades. If you want a child and haven't found the one, you can be a single mother too. there's so many other options so i don't really agree with the narrative that staying single as opposed to staying in a failing relationship is terrible and should be avoided at all costs.

I don't think this is good advice considering OP admitted to financial debt and hardship. It doesn't sound like an emotional co-dependence issue as much as a circumstancial one. You'd be surprised what women endure with men if there are high stakes, and being financially insecure as a woman is a completely shit experience. Even if he bring in a small income and does what little he does around the house, perhaps to OP she needs it.
Single motherhood has its own challenges and should really only be reserved for successful women who pull high income on their own, but even with the resources and finances it's exhausting and lonely and society never looks upon single mothers well.

In no way do I think meds will solve things if it is a case of typical male entitlement, that’s why I encourage nonnie to have a conversation to lay out expectations from both parties and actionable things he can do to demonstrate he’s making an attempt not to languish.

I'm nta but wow, the bar is in hell. So many women really believe it's worth staying with a manchild incapable of common housekeeping tasks. I was married for almost 10 years and my ex managed to pick up after himself, wash dishes, vacuum, and wipe his own ass the whole time without me having to mommy him. My male relatives all manage these tasks just fine whether they are living alone or with a woman. In fact some of them I'd consider neat freaks and are even tidier than the partners they've had. OP is pathetic to stay with such an incompetent moron and I grieve for the child she'll have if she stays, yet another kid brought up with the toxic dynamic where mom does literally everything and dad takes no responsibility ever. If it's a male he will grow up just like dad and become a parasite, if it's a girl she'll grow up believing women taking up every burden is normal while a man leeches off of her. You can try to teach them better all you want, but what they'll actually absorb is what they see playing out around them.

Why can't you just admit that your Nigels, who are for all intents and purposes better than most men, at the end of the day will never bother with the same responsibilities and expectations of women because it's simply not demanded of them?

No, she would be selfish if she chooses to raise a child with a worthless scrote who will influence their image of what a man should do and be in a relationship. It's absolutely delusional to think this has no affect on kids. Sure, they might eventually turn into well adjusted adults, but if you care about a child as more than an accessory you would not choose to knowingly bring them into a shitty situation with a depressed, unhealthy, incompetent, useless parent.

my mother made money independently and tried to keep my father away after they broke up and raise me alone, which would've prevented the abuse i suffered as a child at his hands IF THE COURTS didn't insist that he was to be involved because the state mandates payment unless there is a stepfather to assign away rights, which we did not have. you don't know how the court system actually works. many children face the same fate or worse. precisely how is my advocating for not having children because the courts use the father or men as a failsafe to lessen the reliance on welfare, which puts the child at risk, scrote-enabling? these women out here having children without money are not having them at fertility clinics so there's no father, btw.

the courts want parental rights to exist as much as possible and you don't get that, clearly. unless these women are going in knowing they will never, ever establish paternal rights for these kids, these kids are going to be in for a tough time, even if the mother has money. the best way is to never, ever get involved with them, but 99.9% of women who are having kids without their own complete established financial stability are establishing paternal rights for their children and it is extremely difficult to get rid of these men and they will fight for more "time" with these kids to not pay, wherein the child is abused or neglected.

I don't care about this argument at all but you are really insistent that the behavior of men is somehow women's fault, and if we do what we have to do to work with their selfishness to get what we need out of life then that somehow makes us as selfish as they are.
Well, you're wrong.
But thanks for giving men more ammo to use against us. I guess if our adult partners don't step up then it's not on them to be better, but is actually our responsibility for having given them the chance which makes us equally culpable somehow. And if we don't like it then we have the wonderful option of being alone and jaded which of course is such a happy ending /s
For fuck's sake you're acting like farmers here are encouraging women to have children with pedophiles and addicts. The guy is just lazy like the majority of men and it might even be due to a medical condition for all we know. She's an adult who can judge what she's getting into for herself if she wants to deal with it or not.

Like if a woman is heaven forbid one of the fabled golddiggers, society never says to those men "Well ya shoulda chose better," nah, they're always rushing to lick the wounds and coddle.

Wanting to raise children in a stable, healthy environment makes anyone arguing against your inane logic bitchy and means they shouldn't have kids? Right. You keep ignoring the fact that having a negative male influence in kids' lives is worse than having none at all. He's not just lazy, he's unhealthy, depressive, aggressive towards op when he isn't immediately presumed to be right, a poor spender who contributes little monetarily and likely even limits their savings, obsessive and blames her for thinking about cheating when she hasn't done any such thing. How many red flags do you need? She even states
>Even having a child with him makes me nervous because he does the bare minimum for our puppy and doesn't like to be inconvenienced or bothered by mild pet antics. I know if I had a baby with him as things are now, I'd be doing it alone.
She knows this is bad idea. And if she acknowledges being a "co-parent" with him would mean essentially doing it alone, she has no reasons but selfish ones to not actually go solo so a child isn't subjected to all his bullshit. Maybe she'd make a great parent! But the guy clearly wouldn't, and yes, that does make her foolish if she keeps him in the picture. No one is blaming women who were sold as brides and forced to have children, this is a grown woman presumably in a first world country making a decision to willfully bring a child into an environment with a man who will be a shitty role model and they will internalize that scenario. I cannot believe you consider yourself a feminist when you're advocating that since few men are competent adults we just have to settle and raise children with the shitty ones. Feminism does not mean every decision every woman makes is valid.

Stay pressed. I will always expect a certain standard from men. My nigel does these things because he geniunely loves to serve and was raised properly. My exes also participated in cleaning and the like even though I wasn't even into them. This stuff is the bare minimum. I would volunteer to do some of the chores he does, but the truth is he gets far more enjoyment out of it than me and we've both talked about how he likes servicing people whereas I don't share that joy. I don't expect every scrote to be the way my Nigel is, but I would always expect a bare minimum which includes a person who does not complain and does their fair share of housework and chores. It's disgusting how you excuse the behavior of moids. Men love pleasing and making their mates happy, it's legitimately one of the best feelings they can experience because it strokes their feelings of being a provider. This is why men love being around bratty, demanding women far more than is let on. This is why BPDfags and "bitches" get men, men love having to please women and feeling responsible for their happiness regardless of the reality that happiness is more often than not a choice.

>Wanting to raise children in a stable, healthy environment makes anyone arguing against your inane logic bitchy and means they shouldn't have kids?
You're the unhinged dumbfuck talking about made up scenarios at this point, so yes.
Her post reads like someone weighing her options while waiting to see if her scrote gets his shit together with diagnosis and medication. She's employed and has a home. Even better that he's infertile cause she blatantly said she gets to control when they can have a child. She sounds responsible to me yet you're shocked pikachu she wants to try compassion before throwing a relationship she cares about in the trash. What a selfish person!!
What the fuck is unstable about any of that to warrant your bullshit to this degree? She didn't say he was a monster, just that he's lazy and immature which is something that could be improved if there's a discussion and he's willing to change. You're a bitch cause you're overreacting based on an imaginary scenario in your head as if anything has or is guaranteed to happen. You think you're fucking smart but you're actually coming off as underage and obnoxious.
>she has no reasons but selfish ones to not actually go solo so a child isn't subjected to all his bullshit
Nothing has happened yet, retard.
>But the guy clearly wouldn't, and yes, that does make her foolish if she keeps him in the picture.
Sorry where did she say she was keeping him in the picture no matter what happens? Oh right, that didn't happen. You're just tantruming because she isn't ending her relationship right the fuck now just cause you said so.
>No one is blaming women who were sold as brides and forced to have children
Arguments that were never brought up for 500, Alex.

She hasn't done shit yet omfg.
>I cannot believe you consider yourself a feminist when you're advocating that since few men are competent adults we just have to settle and raise children with the shitty ones.

NTA but kek at this delusion. Men like "difficult" women because they enjoy the toxic roller coaster because it keeps them excited. If men really cared about "making their mates happy" then they wouldn't be known for being incapable of being in a healthy relationship.

Im in a relationship with a serial cheater for 3 years and did some things i regret.
He cheated on me with atleast ten women (that i know of) of those three years that i was with him.
For the first woman i tried to find out where she lives and come and fight her, i also humiliated her on social media so she backed off.
I thought it was just her who he cheated with but last month i decided to check his phone and he had multiple dating apps on it (tinder, bumble, hinge) the majority of his messages was just him being ignored by women and never getting a reply past the ''hi'' stage but i did find some women that he went on dates and had hook-ups with. He was also cheating on me with a woman who was a part of his hobby community.
Im planning on breaking up with him this week, just dont know how to kick him out when that happens since he lives with me.

Here’s my advice:
Tell him you want to see the texts again (don’t get too angry about it in front of him or else he’ll probably delete them), Archive the sexting texts, call the police on him and use the texts as evidence

Some anons here are either males in disguise of actually braindead. 18 year olds are bumbling retards who don’t realise the mental age difference and power dynamic between a kid that’s going to college and a kid that’s just gotten out of middle school. 18 year olds know that sexting a 14 year old is probably illegal.

completely irrelevant point. Never blame the girl if she didn't know about your cheating scrote. Men ALWAYS win in those situations because they just loooove watching girls fight over them, it boosts their fragile egos.

My cheating ex bf was a complete and utter douchebag, and when I found out the insta of one of the girls he cheated on me with, I messaged her and she had no idea, we both confronted him and left his ugly ass. 3 years later, we're best friends, and I don't regret ONE SECOND of messaging her. It was 100% worth it. And the ex? Last I heard from mutuals he dated another girl with a 8-10 year age gap, and cheated on her with two other girls. Disgusting.

Well I guess this isn't relationship advice in the traditional sense in which I complain about my significant other but more so in the familial sense.

I do not like my sister and have decided to cut ties with her. My partner accepts my decision. He knows the hell I went through growing up with her and knows how toxic and two-faced she can be. I have decided it is not worth the trouble to remain bonded to her just because we are siblings. When you grow up into adults, you drift away from your siblings anyway.

However, my family is not happy with my decision and believe "family first" and "blood is thicker than water." But how can I remain connected to someone who has hurt me so much in the past and never apologized or recognized her mistreatment? She abused me emotionally, physically and sexually, and my family DO know the things she has done to me, yet say that I should not hold a grudge and let things slide because when all those things happened, we were immature children and "kids will be kids."

My mom in particular is disheartened that I don't want to be connected to her anymore, that I just want to forget everything and move on with my life, to delete my sister from my life and all the harmful memories (and her current toxic behaviour). It would be so much easier for me to do that, but it's difficult because my family is so hellbent on trying to keep up with appearances that we're not a dysfunctional family, that we are happy and loving. BUT WE ARE NOT because I got ABUSED by her, so I just don't get why they won't let me have my way and erase her from my memory?? They keep insisting that "she's changed!!!" even though it's only been 4 months since I have made my decision to cut her out of my life. Everyone else in my family I have loving relationships with, but her? It's always been abusive.

Anyway, I am about to get married soon. And I don't want to invite her to my wedding, even if it makes me look bad in front of the eyes of my partner's family. He suggested that I invite her anyway because his family is judgemental about family bonds too (just like my family) - but I really don't want to, and I am sick and tired of keeping up with appearances. I wanted a small wedding ceremony with our loved ones but if I do that and invite her, she WILL make a scene and try to sabotage me in front of his family, maybe give a dramatic toast airing out our dysfunctional family's dirty laundry. And I think it would be unbecoming of me to try to defend myself and list out all the things she's done to me because it's personal and private and I am uncomfortable sharing the things she has done to me to other people.

The other option my fiancé suggested is to throw a BIG wedding party and have her hidden away in a corner, distracted by other guests. However, I do not like big parties, and it would just be so awful and horrible that she would influence my wedding dreams like that.

Tl;dr - I don't want to invite my sister to my wedding and my fiance's family may get the wrong idea if I do that. What should I do?
Also, it will be hard to go to family events with my family like Christmases and birthdays because no doubt she will be there. I love my family very much (just not her) and I feel conflicted on whether or not I should skip these if she's there. I don't want to make an ultimatum (either she's there or me), but I feel like I am with my stubborn decision. It makes me feel bad, but I really want to stick to my guns. I feel empowered by it, even if it caused a rift in my family.

>"blood is thicker than water"
Tell them the original proverb is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" ie the exact opposite meaning of what it's been bastardized into. You're doing the right thing anon. If your sister was formerly abusive and continues to stress and diminish you, she does not deserve to be in your life. I know it's hard considering you love the rest of your family, but frankly it's shitty of them to be pushing you to make nice with her when your sister is the one who harms you. That's selfish of them but frankly they need to deal with it. Also, the wedding is your special day and you shouldn't have to run the risk of it being derailed because of your sister.
>I don't want to invite her to my wedding, even if it makes me look bad in front of the eyes of my partner's family.
I have no idea why this would make you look bad to them. If someone said my soon-to-be sister-in-law didn't invite her sibling because she's a drama mongerer, I would say great and wouldn't spare another thought about it. I wouldn't even have to know the details as presumably she had good reason. And you do. I hope you stand firm and do what's necessary to lead a mostly peaceful life and enjoy the wedding.

It's hard to do something everyone doesn't want you to do, but I know it's good for my own well-being, even if it stresses me out by inflicting pain on others. I think I'll proceed with my decision and hope for the best.

Problem is she is an abusive manipulator and manages to make people believe she is in the right when I know it's just her spinning the narrative to make herself look better. I've been reading Why Does He Do That? and the concepts there apply to her - even though she is a "she" and not a he, lol. Spinning the narrative in her favour, making herself the victim even though she's the perpetrator, controlling her public image, charming/persuasive to others, etc. So I just believe something bad will happen when she inevitably meets his family for the first time.

No one understands the truth because the reasons are very personal and I don't want people to know I was sexually, physically and emotionally abused - it is a very touchy subject and people are judgemental. I'm kept silent and look like I'm the evil one for cutting her off and holding a grudge. I just know that if she comes into contact with my SO's family, she will try to make me look bad and make herself look like a saint, perhaps somehow break us up by convincing his family I'm a bad fit. Maybe I am paranoid, but her past toxic behaviour leads me to believe she never wants me to be happy and will constantly try to undermine me.

I.e., When I finally got into my first relationship, she tried to slut-shame me in front of him, air out dirty laundry by badmouthing me (basically said to him I was a stinky autistic NEET for several years), and even tried seducing him, all the while feigning innocence. She is two-faced, manipulative and enjoys it when I fail at life. So when I finally got into a relationship, she viewed it as a "win" for me and attempted to sabotage it because I was happy for once. I do not know why she does this, but my theory is because she is just naturally a very competitive person and has targeted me due to sibling rivalry and insecurity in her own (at the time) crumbling relationship.

>I have no idea why this would make you look bad to them.

My SO's family are really into family bonds and encouraging/supporting one another - I feel obligated to invite her but at least I can make her a non-bridesmaid and just be a normal ordinary guest. They are very WASP-y/Old-money-ish and maintaining public appearances are big for them. When his chatty aunt tried to tell me family drama/gossip, they go quiet and looked visibly annoyed. They like to sweep dysfunctional familial conflicts under the rug and turn the other cheek and keep their opinions to themselves. Hopefully my sister will look bad in their eyes for badmouthing a bride on her own wedding day lol.

Thanks for the advice, nona, but I feel like I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here and have no choice but to invite her. Or perhaps I can lie and say that she was unable to make it to the wedding due to an illness or work-related reason…

So there's this guy that comes by to my work from time to time to check up on the draft beer dispensers and he's interested in me. He's a nice Mexican guy I think in his mid or late 20s, pretty average on looks. We had small talks together everytime he visits and shared our numbers today. Probably the biggest mistake for me because he's obviously flirting at me while texting and I don't know if I should keep this up. I'm just being nice and oblivious about the whole thing.

But for someone who's a fat insecure introvert otaku loser girl in her early 20s with social anxiety and still living with her family, I'm afraid of getting into a relationship with a real boyfriend even though I do fantasize of having one (mostly 2D/fictional guys). I had rejections in the past and the thought of passing this one might left me feel hopeless and missed out especially for having someone coming up to me is a rare thing. I don't have the courage for this and I guess I'm fine living and dying without a real boyfriend. Pretty pathetic I know but what should I do? Should I friend zone him? I don't think we have much of a chemistry together or have similar interests. Still feel pretty uncomfortable about this whole thing. Shy nonnies with boyfriends, what do you think?

That is a tough position to be in, I'm sorry you're having to deal with so much drama surrounding what should be a happy day. Ultimately you have to do what you're most comfortable with, but I think it's messed up to feel like you're essentially being forced to endure the presence of someone who has hurt you so much. Is the wedding day for them or you and your fiance? Is it worse to endure a bit of grumbling from your families or have your sister actually be present and perhaps do so much more damage? Personally I would think the former might be annoying but less painful overall. You don't owe it to anyone to explain your reasons in detail when they are so personal, it's not their business. They may be your family but you're still allowed to have topics you keep to yourself, and it's on them to be mature enough to realize you are doing what's best for you. They may never come around unfortunately, but at least you can still maintain boundaries to protect yourself. I also think it's kind of lousy of your fiance to ask that you allow your sister to come. Not saying he's a bad person, but of all people he should be the one to be on your side and to defend you to his family/shut down any gossip rather than trying to accomodate their snotty attitudes. If you've ever heard of the grey rock technique I would try to incorporate that as much as possible. Instead of feeling you have to tiptoe around sensitive things while giving explanations to people, don't provide them with any emotional energy. Make the topic as boring as possible. Be a closed book. Give short, curt answers and maintain a neutral expression. People may think you're being callous, but they will at least eventually realize they're not going to change your mind instead of continuing to pick at the topic.
>I can't believe you're not inviting your sister! Think of keeping together the family.
>I've already made my decision.
>Wow you're not even inviting your sister? That's not very empathetic of you.
>Okay.
>What kind of person are you that you wouldn't even have your sister present at your wedding?
>Don't know.
Starve them of a response and either remain silent until they get uncomfortable or keep changing the topic. They can try to be as nosy as they please, but you don't have to give them anything. You are clearly a strong person nona and while you can't change other people's opinions of you, you can still maintain your individual sense of peace.

This is another one about a non-romantic relationship, hope that's cool.
I'm moving out because my roommate is a literal psycho; moving in with her was a mistake because she essentially love-bombed me into thinking we'd be super close, bought me gifts for no reason etc., then she started attaching herself to me, not giving me any of my own space, telling my other friends that "anon and I come as a pair!!", sucking up to everyone I was close to and trying to worm her way into every sphere of my life. Then she started treating me quite nastily, making fun of me in front of other people and acting quite two-faced, but when confronted she'd claim that she shouldn't apologise because she "doesn't know what [she's] done wrong and might do it again". However when I'd finally had enough and dared to start treating her the same way for a second she stormed out of a party and then screamed at me, then tried to isolate me from MY friends at that same party, and started telling other people that I'm apparently "abusive". She has had irreparable fallouts with at least 9 other people she was close to so I'm pretty confident that she is the problem, and she has only been nice to me in the past few months when she thought she might need £400 from me to pay a bill.
She was initially planning to move out after we had that bust-up and was messaging our landlord about how she'd be gone by March (not a word to me, just allowed me to see it in the whatsapp chat), so I panicked and found someone who would be able to take over the lease, but then she never handed her notice in and when I asked her about it got super defensive and weird. Anyway it's been 3 months of frosty interaction so I decided I'll just leave as I can't tolerate how anxious living with her has made me. I gave my notice to the landlord (I only need to give 30 days) and told her too in the nicest way possible, made it clear that I would still pay my half of the bills until my notice period ended etc. She responded by snappily asking if I'd told the landlord, and then when she came home I could hear her on the phone LOUDLY shit-talking me to her boyfriend and talking about how happy she is that I'm going. On purpose probably so I would feel uncomfortable.
I feel so angry and I'm holding back tears because it's just all so appallingly childish. I don't know how I'm going to cope whilst I'm here packing my boxes etc. I'm toying with the idea of taking the wifi with me as it's registered under my name and with my billing details attached but I'm not sure if that's too extreme.
Anyway any coping skills and advice would be appreciated. Feeling very low, girls.

There was a FtM girl I knew distantly within my friend circle who recently went on a crusade against her husband's 15th side chick. The side bitch was remarkably better looking and more accomplished. So it made the tranny look like a jealous clown.
The husband told people they were open/poly and would bemoan to everyone how he didn't like but still supported that his wife was now a "husband" just to get pity sex. Apparently the open relationship thing was true as they had a confirmed third woman, but I guess the reason why his 15th time of cheating outside of that was so bad is because the tranny didn't pre-approve or something. She probably only wanted to make sure he was porking other hiddy genderspecials that she would like too.

Thanks for the objective advice, nonny. I really do want to cut ties off with her for good so it makes no sense to invite her to the wedding. People can have their own theories and gossip about it - I will try to ignore it and endure whatever wild story they come up with. I will most likely come back here to vent about my situation when we inevitably hand out wedding invites.

I do try to win the approval of his family because - although he isn't very close to them - it's nice to have a close-knit family on both sides. I know for one that my family absolutely adores him, I just wish I could have the same from his side but they have high standards for everything and it's hard to match that in reality. I'm not exactly what they hoped for in his life partner - they wanted him to go with his childhood friend who studies in the same field as him. His mom tried to make me meet this childhood friend for some reason and I felt uncomfortable with it - I'm glad that never happened. Anyway, I constantly feel like an outsider whenever I'm with them and it's very awkward interacting with his family because we have different life experiences (plus they are better at socializing than I am).

>I also think it's kind of lousy of your fiance to ask that you allow your sister to come.

It is pretty lousy, yeah. He was raised in a family that brushes conflict and drama under the rug and pretends they are a happy family that enjoy each other's company. They're also very polite and prefer manners and civilities over petty arguments and they believe in love and forgiveness… even if behaviour and habits are hard to kill once you are over the age of 25. My 27 year old sister won't change, I don't care how much my family tries to convince me, she has serious issues she needs to work through to get rid of her toxic personality. Shaming someone and publicly humiliating them just to make yourself feel better is one of the most toxic abhorrable traits someone can ever possess, especially if they do it in front of people you love and want to win the affections of.

I really wish I could have had a loving sister relationship. I feel like I missed out on a loving sisterhood and am jealous of those who grew up with a strong sisterly bond.

Whatever you are feeling now will be over once you move out! Keep that goal in sight and try to leave her petty childish social games behind you. To me, it sounds like she was the abusive one and she definitely flipped a switch once she drew you in as her roommate. Sounds like some form of personality disorder to me? I wouldn't personally take the internet (I'd feel guilty after - but if it makes you feel better in that you're taking vengeance and it empowers you, then go ahead!)

At the very least, you should cut off the wi-fi service and stop paying for it for her once you're gone.

I think I'm hitting it off pretty well with this guy. We ended up exchanging numbers within a short time of talking. We increasingly seem to have a lot in common, but the big thing is he goes by he/they… I feel like this is the thing that's gonna turn him off lmao. When he finds out I'm not a libfem. ngl I was once there, but slowly had my realizations. Also he mentioned how he normally talks very long with his friend who has a woman's name. Turns out, this friend of his is a troon. I got TIM and TIF friends too, but this is a man I'm describing. Fingers crossed or maybe I can just enjoy it until it lasts.

Girl I know that 'revenge' probably feels good for you right now because you're hurting from the betrayal from both your 'friend' and your scrote ex, but I can tell you from personal experience when you look back at that behavior you're going to feel extremely embarrassed. Even if you think you 'won' by making her feel bad w.e, you're surrounding yourself with that vengeance and hate and holding on to so much negative energy that it'll seep into a bunch of areas in your life you won't even realize it. You'll start having trust issues with all women thinking they're like her, possibly even becoming one of those "I hate all girls, they are just drama whores" girls because you can't even grow past that hate. Even if you don't realize it right now, it WILL happen if you keep being angry. Learn to accept that there are shitty people out there and you were just one of the many unlucky ones to run into. Count your blessings you found out NOW (even if it was a few years) instead of like yeeeears down the road if you were possibly married with kids.

You should really try your best to focus on yourself. The BEST revenge is living your best life. It's hard, I know, because you're in a shitty point in your life. But just take baby steps, don't focus on revenge or hate or obsess over what if details or how to make her life worse. Trust me, girls like this either learn from this one time awful mistake, or they dig themselves deeper and have total crap lives.

And also, for the love of GOD don't date guys with a big age gap. It is always a huge red flag.

Uhhhm here goes nothing…
I’m a white girl who’s been dating my brown bf for a year. He treats me like a princess, is there for me through everything, and has made it clear that he wants to marry me. I actually waited a while before figuring out myself and telling him I agreed. We’re still so young, though, I wouldn’t even want to get married for at least another 5 years.

My mom has known him for quite a long time, and keeps asking me if I’ve met his parents yet. Well, I haven’t, and he finally told me why (which I guess is traditional culture related) last month. I’m pretty sure he’ll introduce me right around the time we’ll actually get married, but my mom is getting antsy and will start to like him less and less as time goes on and I haven’t met his parents, which should be a long while.

I guess, I’m posting here so nonnies who are more familiar with the culture can tell me more about what to expect. Just how freaking pissed are his parents going to be about him bringing home a white girl? I don’t care about “wasting my time” with no marriage in sight personally, but I might like to meet his parents earlier than planned not only to appease my mom, but to see how they react (and he reacts to how they react) and determine what exactly I can plan on.

No. 253688

>>253686
He won't marry you, imo. White girls are very well received and most brown men would introduce them to their whole friend and family circle early on because it's like a status symbol almost. Though there are the second type that only sleep with the white women which obviously wouldn't introduce them to family but still lie about-face marriage because they're used to doing so with brown girls. Is he Muslim or has parents that are of a different religion? If so that might be the reason.

Yeah, he’s atheist like me but his parents are Muslim. Not sure if his parents know he’s atheist

Yeah white girls are treated really well by Muslim families, even better than Muslim girls themselves, even if they're Christian and stuff so him not introducing you isn't because he's afraid of his family's reaction. To be honest I'd be worried if a man was bringing up marriage very early on while not introducing me to his family, it's a well known tactic for Muslim men because women won't sleep with them unless they trick them into it.

Your mother has met him, have you met his close friends or any family members like his brother or such? How did they act around you?

Again, I've known white girls get treated like princesses by families if the man introduces her as such but I've also heard of white girls getting hurt very badly and domestically abused because they don't quite know how brown man can be and how to stand up to them. Make sure to set boundaries and don't let him push through them, always keep your head high and don't do stuff that'll lower you in his eyes.

Wow, that’s crazy if true! I browse r/interracialrelationships (sorry for cringe) every once in a blue moon to read about couples’ experiences meeting parents of different cultures, and 90% of them are absolute shitshows. I guess that’s why I expected it would be like that (alongside what he told me.)

How do I go about figuring if what you told me is true, any advice? We have a best friend dynamic to our relationship, so if what you told me is indeed true, I almost wonder if it would be possible to cut out love and sex entirely and keep hanging out like that. But if he leaves, I never let myself get too emotionally invested in a relationship, so that’ll be fine. That bit about the domestic abuse is so sad and a good point to bring up, too.

Erm well my experience was totally different than the other anon, my ex held off introducing me for a long while because he knew his mother would react negatively and she sure did. She believed all white women were whores with a 50+ body count and marrying me was akin to being seduced by the devil himself. The irony was I was a virgin at the time and yet her precious son had slept with multiple women, of course she didn’t know or care about the facts. She eventually worked past it but I know a lot of white girls aren’t so lucky and you may be forever seen as the evil sinful harlot.

It’s not that I don’t believe the other anon, but your experience sounds a lot more like the other ones I’ve read about. All perspectives are helpful to me, though.
I guess another piece of context I forgot to add is that his family have all traditionally taken part in arranged marriages, and they were hoping he would take part in one too, but he’s made it clear to them that he will choose who he marries. Not sure if that makes a difference

I'm the other anon and as I've written before, I also saw the dynamic you experienced unfortunately. Brown men either fetishize white women and think they're a trophy or see them as easy, which is very toxic either way but the first is less harmful for the woman and seems to be the case because OPs bf treats her nicely and spoils her.

Hi anon. my sister was dating a brown Muslim guy and he lead her on saying that they'll get married, have kids,s he can be a housewife (yeah, that's her dream to be a housewife, so the idea was very enthralling for her). Except these were empty promises. All he did was lead her on, never showed her off to his family and it took them YEARS to say they were in a relationship to his friends. Very red flaggy.
He then sexually assaulted her, raped her, and had sex in secret with her. Dude was a loser who lived with his parents so he'd come to our house to do sexual things and when my mom found out, they had to go to motels and hotels and stuff. She was a huge mess in this relationship and wasn't happy because it didn't seem real or serious if he kept her hidden away from his family.
She also threw up once because she was extremely drunk and he didn't do anything about it, forced her to give him a BJ while her mouth was still warm and then later made her clean it up.
Anyway, that dude was a loser who grew up on degenerate discord. Also his family hates the LGBTQ+ community and they bonded over being anti-trans.
She basically just likes brown Muslim guys because they are sort of macho (she wants to be a housewife) and they are anti-trans and anti-gay (she is a trad-type).
So please be cautious anon. I know he's not representative of all brown Muslim guys, but that was her experience and she got traumatized by him. He was a manipulative loser who knew how to pull her strings to string her along. My sister is pretty messed up anyway and loved larping as an "abusive housewife" to her brown bf.

I have a boyfriend. And I love him, and hes sweet. But one of my coworkers kissed me, and even though I rejected him cos I have a boyfriend, I keep thinking about it and how I honestly liked it. Im so confused as to why I'd be feeling like this. I feel like a horrible person, I'm just not really attracted to him anymore. We barely ever have sex and when we do its shit and often not to completion for either of us cos we just end up not feeling it.

Its uncomfortable as fuck. When hes on top, he always leans to the side and puts loads of pressure on my hips, which isnt ideal since I have achy hips frequently. When Im on top, he sits at an awkward angle, where hes not fully lying down or sitting up either. Everytime I bring up this discomfort he doesnt really say or do anything about it, he kind of brushes it off or gets awkward and embarrassed about it. He has absolutely no opinions on sex whatsoever and I dont like constantly having to decide what we're gonna do. And everytime I try to speak to him about sex he basically says nothing. Its like he has no thoughts on it at all. If we actually do manage to have sex, its boring and uncomfortable

I'm Muslim and if your sister's really going to keep dating them, make sure she doesn't sleep with them and gets her hymen sewn if she married them so they'll believe she's a virgin. Muslim men only marry virgin girls and have relationships with women who act very cold and superior to them the best, that's the kind of girl he'd introduce to his family, not some girl that'll let him fuck her, aka any guy in his mind.
>>253743
Anon this might be personal but did you sleep with him? Did you do stuff he wanted that'd lead onto him seeing you as an easy woman? Also what's your ethnicity? Arab men would usually die to marry a slav or any other woman who has blonde hair, light skin and blue eyes alas they view her as high maintaince, as weird as it sounds they use and throw away nice girls and marry the ones who fuck them over the most.

That sounds about right. My ex also came from a family that had pushed him to get into an arranged marriage to improve their business prospects because the girl came from a well-off family. His family wasn’t even Muslim but they maintained the same white = promiscuous attitude (they were Hindu). I never got that attitude from him but it was definitely something his family struggled with. Unfortunately he ended up being a bad partner for other reasons. You say you don’t care about wasting time without marriage, and that’s fine since you’re young, but I would mentally prepare an expiration date for the relationship (if he hasn’t introduced you/proposed before then) if you do care about marriage/children because I know a lot of brown guys will waste white women’s time with promises while knowing they’ll eventually cave to their parent’s wishes. Time spent with him could instead by directed towards your own goals or other potential partners who do actually see a future with you.

Arranged marriages aren't common but men sleeping with women then marrying virgins or women from their own culture is.

It sounds like you're really into the guy, but just remember to be careful.

Are you talking about my situation? My ex never married the girl his family wanted him to be with, we got married and stayed together for over 5 years. My point is just that a lot of brown guys will not do that, and if op cares about getting married and having kids eventually, she should figure out a time she'll move on if he hasn't gotten more serious by then. And you're right, they often prioritize their family's wishes so you have to be careful about how involved they are with them. My ex was basically already a black sheep by the time we met so it wasn't out of character for him to do his own thing despite their input.

You're lucky he was a good person.

Just. No nona. The entire difference between a friendship and a romantic relationship (for the vast majority of people) is physical attraction and wanting to fuck your partner. If your bf is shit at sex, doesn't care about getting better at it and making adjustments for you, then no matter how great he is otherwise he's failing at a major component of being in a relationship. It's also selfish and inconsiderate of him to just zone out when you ask him to make changes because bloobloo baby isn't a sexual god just doing whatever he pleases. I'm so tired of men's low self esteem causing havoc in what could otherwise be pleasant relationships. If he can't suck it up and improve then you should absolutely move on to someone who will listen and prioritize you during sex. You care about him, I get it, but he's not showing you care in return and that's unacceptable.

I cant just randomly keep trying to leave him only to give in because he's always around me. I need somewhere to go but all my friends live with their parents. I cant stay with my mum cos me and her boyfriend had a huge fight and wont talk to eachother anymore. I make only £1045 a month I cant afford much in terms of living alone. I am trapped.

nona I had to take a double take when I read what you posted, thinking I wrote that when I was drunk or something. My ex did the EXACT SAME THING. The only thing that saved me was literally my mom pulling me away from the relationship and forcing him to leave my apartment and breaking up. Kind of embarrassing that I needed my mom to do this since I was in my mid 20's at the time but when you're getting abused and in denial about it sometimes you need that.

Please find someone to support you and leave him. He will always claim he doesn't remember OR that 'it wasn't as bad as that' or 'I barely hit you'. It's all bullshit to minimize the actual abuse. It will progressively get worse, physical and emotional.

Let your landlord know the situation, they are usually very reasonable even if you're breaking a contract, and if they don't completely waive the contract fee, they usually make it extremely cheap to break it for your benefit.

Don't ever ever EVER give a scrote a second chance the moment it becomes physical. It always gets worse with time. It's a cycle, he'll be on good behavior for a few months then repeat it once you do something 'wrong'.

I just feel insane and cruel and wrong I feel wrong. Hes inconsistent. But right now I'm being inconsistent cos I dont have the energy to be sweet and perky. I just want to be alone

ah okay. Well just know that it's okay to out grow relationships. A lot of times, people don't wanna break up not because they still love each other, but because they don't wanna break the 'habit' of each other's patterns, and all the effort it takes to break up (friends, family, moving your stuff, etc etc). Just imagine how happy you'll feel being away and alone to your thoughts, and let that guide you tbh.

As soon as he laid his hands on you that was the cue to leave. I understand you think it's okay because he's been "good" lately but like >>253791 said, once a man hits you it's over. There's no forgiving his actions. Who cares if he's calling you mean he literally abused you.
If you're not in immediate danger you should come up with the means to move out asap without him knowing about your plans. If you tell him you want to break things off or move out who knows what he'll do, he might get violent again. For your safety don't tell him your plans.

I'm a "brown" woman (north african arab), lived in different middle eastern countries and amongst diaspora arabs pakistanis indians etc and all the anons telling you to be wary are right but this close minded idea of all brown men bad he thinks you're a western whore is stupid and frankly quite racist. Sure, arab culture is pretty misogynistic and fucked but there are decent arab men out there. You know him better than any of us and it's pretty easy to suss out a shitty white girl fetish arab man. In terms of the parents, different arabs react different but worst case scenario his parents will try and get him to dump you and maybe even try to cut him off for dating a white girl/having a relationship out of marriage. That's worse case scenario though. A lot of arabs will kick up a bit of a fuss if a guy brings a white girl home but will ultimately be okay with it because he's a man and if he marries a foreigner it's okay whereas the rules are different for arab women. My advice is, if you really care about your relationship with this moid that much, try to learn a bit about his specific culture and try and be respectful and a bit knowledgeable and open when you meet his parents- dress modestly etc. Try to have thick skin about the whole situation- even if it goes well, they will probably see you as a stupid outsider white girl in the beginning, be prepared to be uncomfortable and to work hard to earn respect. I wish you luck anon and I hope all goes well for you.

I don't know if I actually need advice because I already know how fucked up this is. I have no girl friends or family so I guess I just want to vent. I know I sound crazy, sorry. Years of childhood sexual and emotional abuse will do that to you.

>manage to get up and yell that I'm not gonna let him guilt trip me and treat me like shit
>says to me "so much for the non-verbal bullshit, huh?"

Now he's convinced I faked my seizures because I was trying to manipulate him and make him feel bad for not wanting to take me out for food during my lunch break. According to him, even me cleaning our apartment yesterday so it was nice when he got home from work, could have been me trying to manipulate him somehow because he's "seen me be manipulative" in the past, though he can't tell me how or when.

I feel like I'm trapped in this relationship because I can't afford my small apartment on my own, have no one to run to for help, have pets that depend on me, and can't even drive because of my seizures. I can barely even hold down a job right now. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

from another muslim-raised woman, brown men are men. don't feel the need to defend these guys so hard.

you know what muslim levels of modesty can reach and it is restricting. this is bad advice, >>253686 don't dress or act differently around the parents than you would in similar situations, unless you're okay with doing that for the future.

>>253686
if you haven't seen how he acts around his family you are missing very vital information about the strength of your relationship. also how religious is he, you need to think about if he might become more religious over time or if the cultural differences will strain his other relationships with people in his life. language differences and more add up. ask if have any of his siblings or other people in his life dated interracially.

>I’m pretty sure he’ll introduce me right around the time we’ll actually get married

you need to start talking a timeline, if this is actually the case i think it's a red flag. he may want to bring this up right before you might get married? marriage is a huge social event where you meet extended family and friends, planning a wedding is expensive and a major commitment.

my advice to assess if this is worth it or not is to see how much he advocates for you and takes on the brunt of communicating with his parents and telling them to be respectful to YOU versus him letting them step all over you. has he told you in depth what they're like and what to expect? how much does he yield to what they want him to be versus his own desires and beliefs? would he, if things got so bad choose you over them without knowing if the relationship could be mended?

What do you do when you do something platonic that is still hurtful to your boyfriend? I have been together with my boyfriend for four weeks now and went out to party yesterday. I made a lot of new friends and stayed over at one of the guys I befriended. I slept in his bed and nothing happened, we literally just chatted and didn’t touch because it was purely platonic between us. But I realised that even though it was just a platonic thing I did all the time before (staying over at random peoples houses, making friends wherever, regardless of their gender or anything), it’s not acceptable in a relationship. I just don’t know exactly what to apologise for because I did not cheat on him and never did. It was legitimately platonic, just disrespectful and I realise that. So I should just apologise for being disrespectful, right? Because I feel very guilty but also confused since it was genuinely fun and I enjoyed making the friends I did. I don’t want to do it again because I realise how it stems from my naivety and outdated friendliness. I am a very friendly person but I have to remember that this doesn’t always come across as such with others, and that as a girl I cannot afford to be as open and friendly to guys when I have a boyfriend as I did when single, even though my intent is to be platonic. I am simultaneously just conflicted and confused about what to feel and do. I’m giving my boyfriend space because he is obviously upset but don’t know what to say to him other than that I apologise for disrespecting him but also nothing actually happened. I just don’t want to minimize his feelings but also not make the situation seem worse than it is. I’m just confused soz

I think in relationships it's better to clarify what is deemed hurtful and/or cheating with your partner beforehand. You two seem to have different judgements of platonic interactions and if undiscussed, his feelings are pretty valid despite your innocent mindset. I hope you two can work this out!

Kek if a boyfriend told me he “only slept over” at some random woman’s house I would 100% assume he cheated and we would be done. Especially only 4 weeks into the relationship. You can only give him time to determine 1) if he believes you at all and 2) how to cope with a partner who has no sense of boundaries.

Are you 14? Having sleepovers with members of the opposite sex isn’t even normal when people are kids.

tbf i can see how it can be hurtful to her bf or whatever but women are just not like men. you can't really typically attribute the average man's intentions and claims and often transpose them onto women in similar positions, especially grey area situations that involve potential sex or sexual action or sexuality of any kind. just not the same. all things considered, women are far more easily to be believed in this situation so it's really not the same to compare it to your bf. but yeah it's not an advisable action regardless for other reasons anyways to just sleep in guys beds platonically that you just met

This is some Ye Ole Times shit where women didn't have the resources or legal recourse to live on their own. We don't have to do that anymore (if you don't live in a blatantly misogynistic country). Get a female roommate if you can't afford living alone. Do not ever put all your eggs in a shared basket with a man. Please please please. I've seen this happen so many times over and it's horrifying to watch women get trapped like this. I have been in a similar scenario myself before but thank god I had the cash to get out. Obviously anons who are already in the situation, you have to endure or look for alternate living situations as best you can and within your means. But for anyone considering it before they have a safety net, I hope this is a lesson to you. Cover your own ass before you risk cohabitation with a man.

that would be the case if they were purposefully trying to larp to spread promiscuity but they already see women as indiscriminate whores anyways so it'd be kind of pointless. not that men need to make sense.

As my partner's 30th birthday is approaching, he is feeling the good old mid-life crisis. I feel bad for him and if there is any resources, information, experience and whatnot you could recommend to me, please let me know. I am generally a "busy 24/7" person so I never thought about such things (thanks to me living as a big sister with a huge amount of siblings and being taught to take care of things all the time, but I am also doing nothing but taking care of the apartment, do occasional art commissions and bake. I just was raised differently. ). He is a great, quiet person with a lovely family but he is also anti-social to a core. He would spend most of his years just doing the same thing, work>work on his personal fan-projects>some random entertainment like videogames or documentaries>sleep. It always surprised me how he would prefer to always be in his comfy place, comfortable bubble but he always seemed to be okay with it, up until now. Unfortunately we had to spend two years dealing with unresolved health issues that he ended up having, so I think that took a toll too, along with the country being under strict lockdown for three years until this year. I want to support my partner in any way I can, because he was always there for me for all of the years we've known each other, and I was too. I think I should just start by having a talk.

i need advice on what to do about this guy that i dated bc my close friends are gay and girls who were never in a relationship before, so it would be nice to know what women who are experienced have to say. basically, this guy in one of my courses found me attractive. he's the first ever guy to be interested in me irl (usually date online even tho i hate it and the guys in my city are trash) and ask me out and i find him really cute for a white guy (a nice bonus: he's 6'5). i thought things were going smoothly because we shared similar interests, humor and we're into bdsm but he ended things with me right after our first date was done because he claimed that he realized he wasn't ready for a relationship and his issues would affect me which i don't think they would and i was ready to care for him if our relationship continued and also he was scared of how affectionate i was? i was pretty much crying in his arms because it was so sudden. i tried to convince him that i would wait for him but he wants us to be friends (which i said sure but i lied). a few days later, he followed this girl and started being a bit more active than usual (he doesn't like to use social media). i hope i'm overthinking and that they're just friends because he seemed genuine when he said he wasn't ready for a relationship and he said he still enjoyed our date (he spent at least 60$ and drank 3 shots bc of how nervous he was). i feel hurt over the fact he might've already moved on and found a new girl so quickly and lied to me. i still like him a lot and want him. i'm a firm believer that men are very easy to manipulate, i just have to find a way to change his mind. i know i sound desperate and retarded but i feel stuck and seeing him in class is awkward now.

My experiences have left me with the impression that even when men are loving.. they're so quick to flip a switch and just be done one day with no warning. Hard to recover from the likes of that without questioning yourself and whether it was ever real. I've battled with that before.

I suppose if the lack of love is there from early on then you have to set a standard for yourself where you don't settle for half assed efforts on their part. I still find men fickle though, they can walk through fire for you one day and still be cold as hell not long afterwards.

Am I too attached to my boyfriend?
We were long distance for 8 months, and he has finally moved back home 2 months ago to the next town over (30 min away, I go there often since my parents live there too, but mostly he comes to stay with me since I live alone). I would obviously get sad whenever he would leave before since I wouldn't see him for a while but was able to see him off with a smile, but now I get profoundly sad and full of dread when he leaves at the end of the weekend. I try not to let it show but sometimes I end up tearing up and everything. I don't know why it's harder to say goodbye to him now that I see him regularly. I just love him so much. I used to have a similar reaction as a child whenever my grandma who I was very attached to would leave, and the intensity of these feelings probably has something to do with my autism as well. I have trouble processing very strong emotions sometimes and end up crying a lot.
The only other thing I can think of is that work is the worst for me on Mondays/Tuesdays and I feel really alone when he leaves on top of that and ironically those are the days I just need a hug the most.
Am I too codependent? I try to keep most of this to myself so I don't come off as insane and have my mom come visit during the week so I can get a hug and some human interaction (I have two friends, one lives far away and the other is really busy so we only see eachother once every 2-3 weeks).

My bf got upset at me because my car battery died and I was five minutes late in leaving for work. He drove me and he was fuming the whole time. At first he claimed he wasn't upset, that it wasn't my fault, but ofc I was anxious because he showed all the signs of being upset. Then near the end of the drive, he chimped out and started getting angry at me because he was saying I should have left on time and at least 15 minutes earlier. The thing is, my work is only like 30 minutes away usually, but today due to ridiculous traffic and fog, it took 30 minutes to get to the freeway and normally it takes around 7. He was so upset at me that he screamed in the car. I feel terrible because I always am working on getting ready and my time management, but it seems like overkill if I left for work an hour early like he suggested. It makes me miserable to think I need to leave that early for work if I'm to appease my boyfriend. We had discussed that my batter may need to be replaced, but the lights were left on and I think it was my boyfriend because he was the last person to be in my car, but I didn't point that out because I'm afraid. Usually he's super sweet and he's never gotten this crazy before. He also complained in the car how I was looking at him. It just sucks, I was trying to be positive in spite of what was happening, but he was fuming the whole time.

I am sorry for him because he had an online quiz close to the time he would return by and it affects his day because he bought me a whole battery that I paid him back for and he's reinstalling it. I just feel like dying because I don't understand why an unfortunate turn of events needs to become a deal on how I am late by 5 minutes. I live with him and his parents and he was yelling at me how I need to leave an hour early like they all told me to, and while maybe that would be a good idea, it feels insane to me he's making a deal of how this is me being selfish. I wasn't crazy off my targeted time. I don't know. Maybe I should feel like shit. I feel like I'm somehow deficient as a person. I am ubering home because I don't want to upset him.

This is not a delicate situation, this is your boyfriend chimping out and being an asshole. Car screaming and lecturing is specifically awful because of the close confines and the other person cannot leave.

No, he had so little self control and regard for you he decided to do so. Does he scream at his parents or authority figures when he's mad at them) Whether it was just "in that moment" or he consistently disrespects and intimidates you, both are worrying.

>he was yelling at me how I need to leave an hour early like they all told me to, and while maybe that would be a good idea, it feels insane to me he's making a deal of how this is me being selfish

If they told you to leave earlier today because of the bad weather or had an actual reason, then that is on you for not taking their advice. Doesn't mean you deserve to be screamed at still. But if they're nagging you to leave for work so on a regular day you'd arrive half an hour early that's retarded. If you can stay or talk with a friend today please do so, okay? You say he's usually sweet but I want you to really think about if this follows a pattern of bad behavior towards you and could be escalation of those patterns.

your boyfriend sounds completely out of line . there’s no way you could have known the battery would have died and even if you should have been mindful of it, what does it matter? your boyfriend was a little bit late to work? i don’t think that justifies his reaction to you. i don’t know if that’s possible for you but i would consider breaking up with him. like i just cannot fathom getting this mad at someone over car trouble and something that’s not entirely your fault. imagine if you guys experience some greater inconvenience or bad event - how is he going to react then? furthermore it really isn’t his or his family’s business what time you leave for work. if your usual time works for you then why should you leave earlier? if bad weather means you arrive late to work then that’s your responsibility to handle, it really shouldn’t affect them

They were telling me to leave that early in general. I don't want to deny my wrongdoings. I know it affected his day in regards to homework as he's a student, but he does stay at home all day. I feel awful for him and I understand why he'd be upset, but it felt like a lot that he was so mad. I was trying hard not to act disappointed or upset and he's sensitive when I act sad so I was trying to be upbeat and now he doesn't care about trying to he positive when it affects him, that is what really bothers me. It wasn't like it was a good situation for me either.

Car trouble is normal run of the mill shit that goes wrong in peoples days.. his reaction to an annoying but entirely mundane problem is a warning sign that you can either listen to or ignore. Plenty of women convince themselves to stay after events like this but I would argue this screams of a man who will only escalate if you ever end up living with him away from his parents. I'm relieved that you're living with his parents and not alone locked into a shared lease with him.

Don't place yourself in any situations where this man has the oppurtunity to make you feel like this again. You're reacting in the same way abused women do because.. that is the dynamic you're in.

This >>254031. This may be common behavior from men but that's because most are mentally stunted. It's indicative of a complete lack of adult coping mechanisms and the inability to properly empathize and care for a partner. Healthy people do not blow up over minor inconveniences and they don't scream and blame their partners for things that are outside of their control. Even if it was entirely your fault, the proper response is to talk things out or come up with alternate methods to avoid the issue. I know you're probably not going to leave right away because it takes an average of 7 attempts before women get out of abusive relationships and you're tied up in another joint living situation, but just think on it. Maybe you'll leave a couple months or weeks earlier as opposed to it taking years to realize he's not a nice person. Oh and in case it's not clear you have every right to be upset by his insane behavior. He is the one in the wrong.

I love my boyfriend but he recently opened up to me about his past sex life with his ex. It turns out they had unprotected anal sex on several occasions and one time she didn't prep and shat all over him and his bed sheets. I thought he was joking at first but then he said no it really happened. I didn't mind because what's happened has happened and it's in the past but when I asked him if they used protection and said no I got really upset. it turned out this whole time he had been putting the both of us at risk. He came back negative for HIV (I got the clean sweep and got tested for everything just to be safe) but I still feel as though I've been cheated out of my dignity but I also feel terrible because he felt insulted when I asked him to get tested. I don't understand why he wouldn't have got tested before having sex with me and I don't know what to do.

Thank you for your response. I agree, I should have asked that he be tested first thing. He didn't tell me much about his sex life other than he was "still a virgin I guess" so I assumed he hadn't had any penetrative sex. When I asked if there was any chance he had anything/had been tested. He reassured me and implied he had been tested/had not had any sexual contact other than mutual masturbation. He is visibly upset when I show I'm uncomfortable with the thought of him being covered in shit but I don't know how else I'm supposed to react. The anal sex thing also makes me feel very uncomfortable because the more I learn about the person he did it with/what she had been exposed to the more I feel violated. I think I'll get over it eventually or come to a solution. Thank you to the others who took the time to respond to my query. It means a lot to me.

Keep in mind even if In the future you should ask. Don’t discredit the fact his response was bad. No one should get upset or uncomfortable with expressing a need or boundary to get tested. It’s your health and life and it sounds all around like maybe communication was fumbled. But it’s something I would note. If he had apologized and been concerned about you and how it made you feel originally would it change how you feel now? Also why is he telling you more about it and why wouldn’t you be uncomfortable?

idk if this is the right thread for this but I'm 20 and have never been in a relationship, but I'm scared that if I don't find a guy that's young enough, my kid may end up autistic or otherwise develop-mentally-impaired. I'm aware that the older the sperm, the more likely is it for their children will end up autistic or otherwise mentally disabled. My uncle is special needs and he was conceived when my grandpa was in his mid 30s, but my mom was conceived when my grandpa was 29, and she turned out fine. I wish I could tell my future husband to freeze his sperm when he's like 21-24 or something, but I can't.

I actually agree with you. I swear I didn't intend to set off so much infighting but unfortunately it's really common itt. I don't need or want to know every detail of a partner's history, but as >>254496 brought up there are some things I just don't want a partner to have done. Especially for a man I see them as red flags. Extreme bdsm stuff, anal, crossdressing, scatplay, polyamory, having been community dick. I don't need all the dirty details but a simple yes/no about certain acts will suffice as they are boundaries I prefer to maintain. I'm perfectly happy on my own so it's far from a death knell to me if that means I'll never be in a relationship again. Certainly a better prospect than settling for someone who I know would only bring me discomfort and disgust. If others don't care that's fine, but it's just insecurity (and possibly internalized misogyny) to tell another woman that she's insane or puritanical for having standards. I personally have no desire or energy for men who don't have a similar outlook and it harms no one for me to see things that way.

I'm so sorry this happened to you nonnie, that's just inexcusable, what a disrespectful piece of shit.
Also does his ex know he still has these videos? I would personally tell her what he's doing with those vids that's so fucked up.
He needs to delete them and prove to her and you that he has.
I don't think I would stay with a man who treats women this way.

nonnies I know I'm an idiot but how do I deal with the fact that my bf openly admits to liking a completely different type than me? I can't shake the feeling that he's settling cuz (surprise surprise) he can't get the type of person he's into.

I'm white with a boyish build and boyish features, he's into curvy black girls. His friends even mentioned to me at a party how 'damn how does it feel to be with a boob guy when you don't have any??' I told them to fuck off and we haven't seen them since but the point still stands.

I know 'be confident! be urself! self esteem!' is the answer most people have but the feeling of him pining for someone other than me always lingers despite how great I feel about myself.

Obviously I brought this up to him and he says while yes he does find large breasts and dark skin attractive, he's happy with me. Something isn't clicking for me…

>I know 'be confident! be urself! self esteem!' is the answer most people have but the feeling of him pining for someone other than me always lingers despite how great I feel about myself.
so you already know the solution, i guess you'd just like some validation? i get that it's not a great feeling. it would be worse and breakup-worthy if he was the one constantly making you aware of his tastes though. but it seems like it's mostly his friends (and i do hope he stands up for you to them) and your own mind. you can ruin even the greatest relationship this way. you can be with someone who is super into white women with boyish build and still end up feeling inadequate because he also likes it when they have another hair color/different personality traits/interests etc. almost no one ends up with someone who checks all of their attraction boxes. a fantasy is a fantasy, it's not necessarily what works for you in reality. and most people "settle" in that sense - they don't wait for someone perfect straight out of their dreams to come along, they go for someone who makes them happy in reality. it's far from the miserable kind of "settling". and you too probably have things you are attracted to, things you always imagined your ideal partner would have that he does not fulfill. you too probably find other people attractive but do not pin over them, obsess over the idea are unhappy in the relationship or love your boyfriend any less.

what really matters is: does he not only say he finds you attractive but actually makes you feel attractive? does he blatantly ogle the women who are his "type"? does the fantasy distract from your relationship, do you feel neglected? or does he actually treat you like the most attractive woman in the world regardless of any pre-conceived "types"? focus on his behavior, not your worries.

I agree with you on fantasy being fantasy, and that there is no ideal. Happiness in general above any vague notion of the ideal is how I try to structure my relationships.

I think my issue is as you stated in your last paragraph: he doesn't make me feel attractive, he continues to watch porn with exclusively his type (he knows how I feel about porn but sheepishly says he's addicted), when held accountible for these things he claims it's unattractive to be so paranoid and have such low self esteem.

The wild thing is, is that I find myself generally attractive, I like the fact that I look strange and tend to accentuate those features. I'd like to save the relationship since it's fulfilling in most other ways, but this just makes it feel like we'll end up as roommates before long.

Nonny there are plenty of men who love a boyish body. He knows he makes you insecure and that he has control over you and that you will compare yourself and do the most to please him. He wants to keep you insecure and make you feel guilty and unattractive. Life is too short to stay insecure in a relationship, there are plenty of men out there that worships your body type.

How would you even try to save it? You can't change your race or body type, and you can't chance his preferences?

This is cope. All men have autistic types and although they'll date women who don't fit them, they won't value those women and keep searching for their type while still dating and even cheat on the women.

My ex is a bad guy who treated me bad most of the time with sweet intervals. He dumped me after logging in to all my social medias and reading through messages looking for dirt cos he thought I was cheating (i wasnt). He's in my flat and I'm in a hotel. I thought itd be civil since I'm trying to be chill and he broke up with me but when I contacted him about moving out, he was just horrible. Expressing that I'm cruel and evil and horrible. He went off about how much he hates me and how he doesnt deserve this and how everyone thinks im an evil bitch. I was so confused cos he dumped me but after living together and dating for 3 years, reading that kind of shit really hurt. I knew he had a mean streak and I've seen it before, but nothing so concentrated and vile. Hes agreed to move out but im terrified of going over while he's there. I dont know what to expect. He talks about how I could be so cruel as to leave after 3 years despite him dumping me and going off on me because I left? When I pointed out he dumped me and described exactly what happened he got really angry and was like "seriously? You're just twisting shit to make be the bad guy. Congrats you fucking win" I don't get what he's trying to do. It hurts sure, but I'm mostly just confused

and there's your answer: first of all just never stay with a porn addict in general. you can't fix them, it's never worth it. a porn addict who blatantly watches porn of women drastically different from his girlfriend to the point where it interferes with her self-esteem and does not make her wanted in her own right is super not worth it.

hi nonnies i would really appreciate some input because i have nobody else to ask so thank you for reading if you do

my bf and i are very close. he has no friends except me and a few guys he games with. i encouraged him to make more friends and talk to more people because i want to see him happy and i put too much pressure on him. he is my only friend as well and i dont want to be suffocating

im not against him talking to girls. in fact i encourage it because he doesnt have any feminine energy in his life except me. but i found out he was talking to a girl who was coming onto him very strong (calling him cute, he even sent her pictures) and she explicitly said she is looking for a bf, not friends. he didnt mention that he had a girlfriend once and didnt reject any of her advances.

i confronted him immediately, his defense was that i 'told him to talk to girls' (even though i said AS FRIENDS ONLY im not some cuck) and he didnt explictly flirt back (which is true, he didnt call her cute or anything). im just hung up over the fact that he chose to talk to a girl who told him she is only looking for a boyfriend. i couldnt even recognise him from the way he texted and spoke to her. ive been crying a lot and he keeps calling me crazy and that im overreacting. he said a lot of hurtful things. i know he didnt cheat on me and i don't have it that bad but i need to know if im in the wrong for even being sad about this because i feel like im going crazy

also im 19 hes 22 he treats me very well and takes care of me and i know i'm too dependent on him which is probably why i feel so guilty for even being sad but hes always been so honest with me and i have trusted him completely , i was asking him who he was texting and he kept saying it was nobody and hid it from me which also hurts a lot, if he didnt lie i would feel much better

this is the first time anything like this has happened

He knows. He knows exactly what he's doing and he loves the attention. He's playing dumb and making you feel crazy. The fact that he hid it proves that.

The fact that both of you are a bit shut in and codependent doesn't help. Do you feel like his company is enough for you? Maybe if he wasn't your only outlet for friendship/relationship and you weren't his there would be a more healthy dynamic. What he's doing is sneaky, but you should be able to branch out to have a life outside of the relationship, just now how he's doing it.

I know i'm too reliant on him, I don't think he is on me because he's a lot more self assured and confident than i am, so theres definitely a power dynamic between us

Its hard to make other friends since i get along better with women but all my college classes are filled with guys. even tried the friend finder threads here but they didn't work out too well. it all started because im the one who encouraged him to talk to other people too

I know i seek way too much validation from this guy and probably wouldn't if i was less insecure. plus ive been with him since I was 15 and can't let go of my naive fairy tale perception of love. i know this shit's so cringe, i wish i could be more rational and stop idealizing things so much

You are 100% in the right. You seem like you have VERY high empathy, which is a recipe for disaster when you have a partner who isn't on that level. Just remember, the ability to empathize with your partner, to work to understand your partner's feelings as well as come up with a plan to deal with those, is one of the most important qualities you can have in your partner. If you can't expect him to care about your feelings, what good is he for?

Haha, I was in a rush and didn't know how to word it. He doesn't have any female friends or close female relatives (only brothers, mother passed away few years ago).

yep you're right about me having too much empathy. he's agreed he can't feel as much empathy as me and struggles to understand how i can be as sensitive as i am. from his perspective it makes sense but it's difficult for me to fathom, idk

I get the sentiment, but this isn't something you can force. I think on some level you know a person's friends reflect their own beliefs and values. But pushing him to get different friends or change his friend group won't change him, unfortunately. He will still be garbage trash.

Nonnies should I apologise for overreacting?
I'm autistic and sometimes I get really exhausted socially really easily. I told my boyfriend since before we even started dating that occasionally I need space and won't reply as often. After a year together that happened starting last week, and I wouldn't go a full day without replying, just would take a couple hours. My bf started saying I don't talk to him anymore and that I'm distancing myself.
I explained two times that I just needed a bit of space and he kept saying that when he doesn't feel well he tries to get close to me because I make him feel good, and the fact that I do the opposite means either I have a problem with him personally or he doesn't help me, he's not autistic btw. I tried to understand his side and I kept trying to reply to him often and the problem seemed to die down until tuesday.
I got incredibly stressed and exhausted from personal stuff + autism + having to reply to him when I have no energy. I told him we could try to take a break (not break up) so I could get better and all that. He gave very short replies, including one saying that taking a break wasn't a thing and we either were together or not. I asked him for a middle term solution that would be good for both of us and he just didn't reply at all. Last night I was so upset over him apparently not caring enough to reply that I just sent a message saying 'i kept trying to find solutions for this but you're not even trying to be communicative' and blocked him.
Welp, now I think that's it right? But I wasn't ready for a breakup, I never wanted that. Should I unblock and apologise?

I asked him to unfollow the girls on his Instagram that only post thirst traps and he agreed while giving me a bad attitude about it all. "Whatever mate it's just Instagram."

My boyfriend got mad at me for a) not letting him help me troubleshoot when he wasn't being much help and b) moving his hand out of the way and telling him to stop when he reached for the controller when it wasn't working (different incident, but the one that set him off). He yelled at me to stop projecting my ex's insecurities onto him, because he falsely assumed my shitty programmer ex was the reason I reacted that way to him trying to help me. It's not that at all - I really hate it when people look over my shoulder and comment on what I'm doing when I'm frustrated and trying to figure something out, and it also felt like a betrayal to hear him bring up my ex like that out of context. My bf gets mad whenever I, in his words, snap at him like that, but either I'm the world's most unfeeling bitch or he's overreacting because I never recall saying anything harsher than 'use your brain' when he unintentionally did something that almost damaged something precious to me. We very rarely have serious arguments, but we only ever seem to have them when I unintentionally say something to upset my boyfriend. Am I the problem?

I feel like my ex is taking advantage of my patience. He dumped me on Monday, so I spent £300 on a hotel room til today. The breakup seemed amicable apart from him snooping in all my socials and me having to change my passwords. Anyways, I tried to speak about the flat on wednesday to him only to bs met with just insults and smugness as he seemed to think he was staying there despite me paying far more for it up until this point. When I said actually no, I can afford it he retorted with that not being fair. Anyways, he knew id be out of the hotel on friday and we agreed on me keeping the flat and him moving out. I meet him today to speak to him and I'm met with passive aggressive bullshit. Him dropping comments about how his whole family hates me and the timing with his uni dissertation and how moving shouldnt be his problem cos I have family in the city (family he knows im no contact with) so he drops on me that I have nowhere to stay tonight too. He suggests I stay in a hotel again but I'm already £300 down. I left pretty upset as he'd just been gradually chipping at me since I got there. Ive managed to sort staying at a friends tonight but im dreading going back to get my things. Im starting to feel like my home is being stolen.

I've been in a situation before where a bf was on the lease and I was just paying my way but without signing, dude was an asshole who would lord that fact over me any time we fought (threats of homelessness used to get his way) and it sucked because morals aside he legally had that power and it was such a shitty power trip to take advantage of that.

Hot Take: Marvel/DC Superhero culture is doing to men and boys what Disney did to women and girls
As young girls, we were indoctrinated with all these harmful, self-abandoning messages by Disney movies, and there are now legions of men and boys who literally function as though DC/Marvel were their religion. They draw their actual morality and mythology and meaning from what began as COMIC BOOKS. I'm sorry, it drives me up a wall, and has contributed to this exponential growth of Main Character Syndrome in men, where the only desired women are attractive and useful (Pepper Potts) or attractive and rescue-able (Mary Jane Watson).

It just gives a convenient narrative for men to justify being self-centered and accepting no corrective critique from society. Plus the superhero achieving his ends always, always, ALWAYS entails violence. Every time.

And Hollywood keeps making more and more of these movies because this childish, delusional shit makes bank. I genuinely fear there will come a point where you can't find a single non-superhero movie in the theaters. This also contributes to American exceptionalism, male privilege, and so forth. American society is damn near close to having no other moral compass than pop culture tropes.

I'd even go so far to say that superhero movies, the way they are currently used, are compensation fantasies for men in general.

There's this huge number of young men who are failing at life. An entire societal group of socially maladapted, vidya-playing, badly educated young men on the verge of NEETdom. A group of men between 15 and 30 who are, objectively, failing at launching into adulthood. It's a development that is both new in its scale and that has no real equivalent in women.

Just looking at the stats- young men earn fewer college degrees than women, they're unemployed more often, they perform substantially worse in school starting in elementary and never make up for that gap, they struggle with addictions to porn and gaming, and a third of pubescent boys have behavioural issues so bad that we slap the label 'ADHD' on them and pretend they have a legitimate disorder. Men, as a whole, are not performing well.

These movies are an escape fantasy for all the incels, NEETS, and mediocre white dudes who are staring at an unyielding brick wall in front of them. Those bottom 25% of young men that have no real female equivalent- Batman is their escape fantasy.

Idk if this is the right thread, since the problem is me.

I'm a total degenerate. I love attention and want to fuck around because I like it. Yes, I know, no woman is like me and I must secretly be a moid, maybe I need to go on T since I'm such a man about sex. Anyway, I have a partner who my family and pets really love, and his interests and stuff mesh well with mine. We just don't have sex very often (his libido is not as high as mine I think). Plus, I love fucking different people specifically. I just want some miracle cure that will cure my degeneration and keep me from going ape shit on genital carousel. Open relationship is not an option, neither is leaving him. I'm afraid I'll cheat him. Then again I'm also wasting my young years with old mini dick ash balls. Why am I like this, I need jesus

this seems very scrotal but i have to agree only with the objection that "whore" is unnecessary. if you think you can change, maybe you can, maybe try concentrating on gratitude than your sexual fantasies. but ultimately, your libidos and sexual/reomantic preferences are not compatible and for you both this is important. unless you can control it, it's better than to build resentment and be stuck in a house with someone awkwardly.

Being a horny slut doesn't make you a man or intersex. Many women go through periods of very high sex drive in their lives. If you want to change it, try hormonal birth control. That shit can and often does kill your sex drive. You might also get tested for STDs because some common ones like Chlamydia can make you super horny. But ultimately other nonas are right in that it's ideal to find a partner with a similar sex drive as you, particularly if you don't want to be in an open relationship or be a poly weirdo. Although if you want to be one, more power to you, just find a partner who likes that too. It's not cruel to leave someone if your lifestyles are not aligned. It doesn't have to be about who did something wrong or whatever. Some people just don't work well as couples and are better off just being friends.

Is it normal to hate it when men banter with you? My boyfriend was watching me play a game the other day, and he made a lot of sarcastic comments poking fun at everything I was doing. It obviously wasn't done in a way meant to humiliate or hurt me, he was just teasing but it still pissed me off. I roasted him back the entire time, but deep down I felt very annoyed thinking to myself "this isn't the kind of dynamic I want to have with him." Aside from this he's always so gentle and kind, constantly finding ways to make my life easier, gives me lots of compliments, and always praises my intelligence/my unique way of doing things. I think he eventually realized I wasn't too thrilled, because he apologized for going too far. But really, I feel like it was something that shouldn't have happened in the first place. What do you guys think? For the record, I don't mind it when my female friends roast me, but when men do it it's so unattractive and a huge turn-off. Am I just being too sensitive?

I hate when men banter with me too. It's annoying and dehumanizing, if they can't treat you with the equal or greater amount of respect and compliments than it goes further than just banter, in my experience. My ex would always tell me his friends were joking with me when I stood up for myself and eventually called out their bullshit, one day they got mad at me though and told me they all hated me and it was a big running joke with them. Sadistic. Nothing wrong with wanting a man who cares.

It isn't a great feeling sometimes when men treat you as 'one of the boys' I've been put off by it both in relationships and in friendships. There's times when it works and times when it doesn't. It's all just a matter of reading the room and the situation I guess. Men don't always pick up on when it's a bad time or when they're overdoing it. Your guy sounds like he cares and just made a mistake though.

Like sometimes they do it to irritate you on purpose but he sounds ok.

I really need to talk to a therapist about this, but I don't have the money so here goes.

I became obsessive with appearance related stuff after I found my boyfriend was watching porn when he said he was done with that. I am delusional and genuinely believe that if I make myself more attractive, I won't have to worry about that. The add insult to injury, at the time I foolishly sent nudes of myself to him, so it made me feel worthless and pathetic. The things is, I objectively see myself as ugly in those photos, so my brain immediately blamed myself.

How do I stop thinking like that? Even at that time period when I was sending the nudes, I got a lot of positive attention irl for my appearance. It's only increased since I've become obsessed. My boyfriend has apologized and says things are different, but I feel like I cannot trust him. I avoid checking his computer, phone, etc. because I'm afraid of what I'll find. I don't want to spiral again.

I just don't know what to do. I want advice on how to heal from something that happened due to a relationship regardless of the guy because even if we broke up, I'd still feel this way.

My boyfriend is against the surgeries I haven planned, and I don't point this out because I don't want to upset him, but I am sure the people he's watched have had those surgeries and such. In general, he is worried about my obsessiveness, and many times, I get so caught up I don't even think about how it started. But when we talk about my poor relationship with sex, how I demand it, how I link my appearance with it, we then invariably talk about my obsession with appearance which leads to the initial event I talked about and then it just triggers me because I remember WHY I became this way. Of course, I know it's my fault, but it hurts what triggered me to either make the choice to deal healthily or unhealthily as I have chosen.

Could someone point me in a good direction? Like, any books or such. I feel like this is related to me being abused as a child. I was molested as a really young child and I got jealous over the attention my abuser gave to other women because I watched him like a hawk (he was related to me). I felt inadequate because I was a child and I knew I was "unattractive" because I didn't have adult woman features at the time. That I think is what triggered me to care about appearance at all from a young age, but this event with my bf triggered me into a hyperstate as an adult.

Please dump your bf and get therapy.

My boyfriend is very supportive of my natural appearance and I've taken a poor situation and made it worse through the way I think about it and this is what lead me to want plastic surgery.

I got obsessed and wondered how the girls got photos like that and it lead through a rabbit hole of filters, plastic surgery, and a bunch of shit that I can't forget now that I have learned about it.

>It's not your fault that society wants women to fit a certain mold and media advertises that type of woman while also putting down women who try to look like them

This is very true. I just want to cry because a lot of people tell me how beautiful and attractive I am, but it isn't enough….the surgeries I want aren't to fix anything, they're just to perfect my proportions. It doesn't matter how good you look, I feel, if it doesn't translate to a photo.

honestly? moids like this are braindead when it comes to womens bodies, you could easily just go ahead get the surgeries and then claim it was a business trip or something and he would be too stupid to know but also praise you for getting the appearance of women he faps too, but that's way too much for a moid so just dump him and heal your body dysmorphia

Men will never truly grasp how artificial other women are, including small onlyfans users who are the worst about the fakeness too, that's the tough part about dating porn addicts it's that they think it's normal for womens bodies to look extreme but don't want their princess to get plastic surgery, wear makeup, waist train, whatever but will happily ignore her and show attention to women who do

you're also expected to perform insanely (expected to mind you, if you perform good these men act like it's just how all women are supposed to act during sex and won't praise you for it/ will just expect other women to perform that way) but also not be extremely experienced or anything.

It's almost universal that monogamous women will experience at least a little bit of anxiety/stress when stuck in a relationship with a scrote who looks at porn/instagram girls. It's not natural for men to gawk at thousands of different women with bolt on tits and ass in the span of 2 minutes, or to be able to look for degenerate, hardcore porn on demand and have it completely overwrite and warp their normal inclinations. How are you supposed to trust him and in the relationship when he treats women in general as objects to masturbate to? I wish women would stop blaming themselves for feeling shitty about it, it's a natural reaction to a pathetic and disgusting habit. He could be enjoying a mutual intimate moment with his partner but instead chooses to jerk his chafed, limp noodle to voyeuristic porn like a cuckold. Absolutely disgusting.

this so much, the biggest defense men use for this is that it's ~natural~. Attraction to other people is normal but wanting literally impossible body types that never existed before plastic surgery? not natural. Becoming so porn sick you're convinced every woman outside of your relationship is willing to hook up with you? not natural. In nature, males fight other males to compete for sex, males mount other males to show dominance and you just had to get whatever female that was willing to fuck you and be happy with that, you couldnt just watch porn and play vidya all day since you have to man the fuck up and hunt, protect and so on.

I told him that was literally insane and my dad would literally never think that and I was going to tell him how I got it in person, but he kept going off about how when women are injured - people think it’s the spouse that hurt them. He was getting annoying and I kept telling him he was being weird and my dad isn’t going to think that and I was literally going to tell him - and I shouted this because he was still going. Then he got mad at ME saying, “sorry for voicing my concern I’ll just shut the fuck up.” And when I tried to reason he kept interrupting with “no no no it’s fine get what you want” like ?!?!

It's also funny since they'll usually point out women like Beyonce, kim k, Tyra, Marilyn Monroe, etc to be fertile because of their body but all of these women are very open about their trouble with conceiving.

just do 1 i guess. he could be a weirdo trying to get you drunk but he could also be saying bottle by being generous, plus no one knows anyone else's particular alcohol tolerance. some people drink 3 glasses of white wine with their meal, or just one, etc etc. men typically don't just drink 1 glass of wine, basically ever.

Thank you sm! I get a good vibe but I'm still uncertain on if he is trying to DTF or meetup. He doesn't message me late(past 9) and neither do I, he also slid in my dms very casually and isn't doing the classic /fuckboy/ style of sending fire emojis, liking my riskier selfies or being sexual. That's why I'm also so confused! It's late right now (2am) so I will message him back in the morning going for a 1-type message. I also work 2 jobs (an 8 hour and then 5.5- I'm not poor rn but I'm trying to save money) so I am basically unavailable except for when my work aligns.

I can get a good level of drunk on that but I drink infrequently. Tbh it probably doesn't matter though 'let's share a bottle' is just a line. It sounds classier than what usually happens, which is people popping open more bottles after that.

No. 255544

agree with this but some anons in the other thread she was posting in were making a big deal over "split a bottle" vs "have a glass of wine". as if idk he's an alcoholic or a predator or both. i mean both are possible but i wouldn't really jump to that conclusion based on that line. plus if it's at something like a restaurant and a guy wants to show you that he's making an effort, he'll buy a bottle to show he's not cheap etc etc. also could just be at home and letting her know he's willing to share his wine if she wants to have just a drink, or more. or maybe he could just try to get her drunk and make moves. not really enough info alone to judge drastically, it just seems like a normal line to me too.

True, I met several men who would freak out because "I don't know man she's just acting off I think she's cheating on men". They'd just distance themselves and start emotionally neglecting her instead of discussing it, 9 out of 10 times she wasn't cheating and it was actually him who was cheating. Accusing women of cheating constantly is also a top emotional abuse tactic used by men in order to make the woman desperate, begging for communication, or even isolate herself from situations that "make him feel like she is cheating" which is any sort of socialization to these males

I don't want to risk losing a really close friendship, but this crush I have on this guy is tugging at me. It's been with me for a really long time, well over a year. Sometimes I just want to say fuck it life is short and I shouldn't have to wait around to find out, but I also want to hope things will turn for the better with time and say that things take time and rushing things is not good, because I've experienced both.
I haven't had such good chemistry with any other person, even with my ex. Three months ago we just talked together for nearly 7 hours, he was there to comfort me when I had moved out of my ex's apartment to an apartment of my own. Even yesterday we watched two films together. Even some of our long term online friends think we're married and just keeping it a secret from them, this has been a conspiracy of theirs for a while.
The thing is, he seems to be settling down with his high school sweetheart. I dislike the circumstance, which is why I'm having a hard time. I have a suspicion he's just going through the motions of what is expected, given recently he's made jokes about being reckless with his life, like drinking + driving and whispering "please don't let this be the breakup text" whenever she texts him when I'm talking to him.
Maybe I just need to be rejected by him and get over it and after that everything will be fine and dandy and I can move on.
I'm gonna talk to my best friend about this too, because she was in a kinda similar circumstance when she confessed to her now fiance. I mean, I have plenty of close friends, but I really, really enjoyed ours. Fuck, dude this sucks. I wouldn't have such a hard time doing this if I wasn't with my ex when we met before he got married, even better if he was also single. Maybe it's not meant to be. I just want to get this feeling over with and not be a fucking homewrecker.

No. 255644

Sink or swim, anon. This dude's girlfriend doesn't deserve any of this, even if there's nothing physical or any verbal confirmation happening between you two; the fact your friends think you two are secretly married shows how messed up this situation is, and how hurt she would be if she found out. Confess to him and either he rejects you, commits to her fully and you end this friendship, or you get together and be happy forever after and that poor woman won't be led on anymore. Both scenarios involve someone getting hurt and someone becoming really happy, and I think it really should be resolved instead sitting for who knows for how long in this unhealthy limbo.

No. 255649

Do NOT do this! Confessing to a guy with a gf will only paint you as a mistress/"whore" and he'll simply reject your because of that alone. Even if you get together, he'll think it's fine to do the same thing to you.

No. 255656

Honestly, i don't care if he thinks of me negatively after confessing to him, the friendship will be over, because who's he gonna tell? The friends who conspire about us being secretly married? even if things go in my favor and we do get together and he does the same, it'll be a learned lesson and I'll realize we are truly not meant for each other.
Life is short and >>255644 has a great perspective. I don't want to let this drag on in both of our ends, especially since he's committed.
I'm gonna risk it. I really am trying to keep my mind off him, but each guy that's interested in me I just and up measuring them up to him. The large possibility of me being rejected is the reassurance I need to mentally move on.

I've only ever been on the other side of this, my drive tanked initially and it was so much harder to finish but we made efforts to work on it. We brought new toys into things seeing as I was almost clit numb. Things got better but I went 7 months without an orgasm. We set time aside to cuddle and fool around lightly and the spark got going again with some work and.. heavy duty vibes.

Is your guy incapable of getting an erection altogether? Do you do other things? It's not unusual for people to request a change in meds if it's having that extreme of an affect on your intimacy.

If he really wanted to be with you, he would have done it by now. By doing what you're about to do you're homewrecking his relationship, encouraging him to think about you romantically and hurting yourself in the process. Learn to move on properly.

i kind of don't know what to think about this. i need some advice cause i am worried.
so my bf and i were each other's firsts. he would get flustered (and still does) every time i got too close to touching his nipples. the other day i was trying to get him off with a handjob but he just wouldn't cum. we often experiment and try new things so i decided to start sucking on his nipple while i jerked him off. he was reluctant at first but he let me. he quickly got a lot of pleasure from it and he was able to cum. it was a really big orgasm too.
after that we were both kind of shocked from it? we kind of had an "oh shit" moment. he felt weird about what we did even though he really liked it. i asked him why and he said it was because of what he thought about during it. he was really embarrassed to tell me and he didn't want to until i promised i wouldn't make fun of him.
he said that during it, he told himself in his mind things like "yeah, you like that you little slut" and he said thinking of himself in that way felt feminine, thus embarrassing to him. because it's "something you tell a girl, not a guy." i reassured him i don't think negatively of him for liking it.
however, this is what i am worried about: if we continue to do this, could there be a chance he could troon out eventually? maybe i'm paranoid, but i really don't want to risk my relationship with him. i obviously don't want to be with a tranny. i don't want to jeopardize him being a normal man for some unconventional sex stuff just because we like some light femdom sometimes. i'm worried that sex acts like this will escalate to him wanting to try out actual weird or degenerate things. i'm not against the act of nipple play itself. i'm worried about if he's going to continue to have thoughts like that that will escalate.
idk, maybe i'm being dramatic but i don't have other sexual experience besides him. what should i do?

No. 255921

I agree. I can't understand why some women can be willing to chase after men clearly disinterested in them while purposefully harming other women. Like yeah, he's going to turn her down and tell about it to his gf because that's what guy's do and then everyone in their circle will know. I'm assuming she's a neet who's not socially knowledgeable because of how she seemed to mention only "online friends" aside from him, she's going to wreck a good friendships for nothing.

Thanks for your reply anon. Unfortunately he's been on it a few years so I don't think the side effect will wear off, it seems to be getting worse as we got out of the habit of having sex and basically live like roommates now.
I think he's still atracted to me because sometimes when I initiate he gets excited and acts like he wants me, but most of the time during sex he's pushing rope and can barely finish. Most of the time he rejects me and says he's tired and let's try tomorrow.
I'm going to bring it up with him but I'm very wary because obviously this will be a huge blow to his ego and "manhood" or whatever. It was such a struggle to get him help because he sees taking meds for mental health as a personal weakness. This will just solidify that thought. But hopefully spur him to try something new.. It worries me. But I just can't imagine living the rest of my life having sex 5 times a year. Even though he's an amazing life partner.

As long as he's not picturing himself as a woman, you're okay.
I think the biggest sign of impending troondom is porn and WKing troons, so try to investigate how he feels about gender bs as a whole. If he's a TRA you've got a problem. But if he knows troons are delusional, even if he's got some subby sissy streak in him, he'll be aware it's just a kink and not let it ruin his life and yours.

I posted in one of the vent threads couple months ago (my boomer ass cant figure out how to link it) tldr my bf doesnt make me feel wanted sexually often as I would like.
Today we were watchin breaking bad and theres a scene where hank is paraplegic and marie is out running countless errands for him and being a good wife and it shows hank at home getting ready to watch porn. My bf was like "oh hank" in a disappointed way and we started talking about it and basically I ended up asking him if he ever watched porn when I wasn't around. He said he had but he was very embarrassed and whined for us to stop talking about it. I was surprised, not because of the porn but because he has been acting like his sex drive is low because of depression lately. We used to have sex almost every day with logistics permitting, but we maybe do once every two weeks now. I am and have always been upfront about my sexuality and I try to stay humble and just ask him for sex and to pursue me (as easily as I can without feeling like he's only doin g it for my sake). I try to be respectful of his lower sex drive so when he said that maybe once a month since weve been living together, he looks at porn I was like wtf. I dont feel like every sexual experience one has should be for your partner. But if I am essentially begging to be included in his sex life I don't like that he used porn and hid it from me. I even pointed out I could have provided the visual he needed like if I had made nudes and videos for him. But he said he wasnt considering his porn use to be serious enough to do anything like that and said he understands why Im offended but I dont really think he does.

Also shout out to nonnie who said I would be asking for breakup advice in a few months lol
I didnt believe it then.
As we left things currently, he pleaded with me to stop talking about the porn thing because hes too embarrassed to endure talking about it with anyone so I gave it a rest. But I still want to ask him more about it. He has never mentioned using or liking any type of porn whatsoever so Im hella curious about what he even watches. Also before anyone comes at me, I do assume that almost all men look at porn and I know theyre all degenerates but the reason my bf surprised me is because I literally used to make porn and have been very open with him in the past with what kind of porn I admire, the porn I like when I did use to watch porn (havent in years now) the kind of porn I used to make, offered him nudes or vids soooo many times, and was generally nonjudgemental about the whole porn subject. But he acted as if he had no interest, no preference toward it. So his deep shame I guess is more of the surprise to me. Which is also why Im hella suspicious of what he likes to watch.

Yes, you should leave. I tried making it work for years with my BPD ex and I'm not even in the BPDfags are the devil camp (though I would have a right to be) but unless they're putting in major work as in going to therapy, DBT workbooks, continual reflection and communication, they just won't improve. Ever. Even then it takes a lot of time. I totally understand the desire to help him get better but he's not the only person in the relationship. You deserve someone who can do basic things like supporting you and showing kindness. And there are people with BPD who can do this, but clearly he isn't one of them. You gave him chances and he's blown them. Time to turn all that care towards yourself. I'm sorry. I truly understand how shitty and difficult the situation is, but in any relationship where someone has a disorder or mental illness they need to be going out of their way to keep it under control or they shouldn't be with someone at all. It's cruel to say you love someone but then knowingly keep them in a relationship where you aren't meeting their needs. Saying this as someone with issues myself.

No. 256074

Other anons have already hit on this, but if you know your bf is against trans stuff then it's more than likely just basic misogyny he's absorbed from porn and society at large. Saying this as a more dominant woman, a lot of men are embarassed about acting submissive and to them that encompasses a ridiculous amount of things. Many really basic, like making noise during sex. It's why you get so many retards who are dead silent and claim its "girly" to moan, because that's all they see in porn: the woman monotonously yowling nonstop while the man noiselessly pumps away. You can even tell them you think it's hot but for guys like that it's more important to maintain their mental security as someone society deems manly than to please you. Not worth your time. Same with nipple stuff. You basically never see women playing with guys' tits (which is a shame) but you do see it in reverse all the time. It's totally fine to like your nips being played with, they're sensitive and it can be vaguely submissive since you're giving your partner access to a fragile area. But there's nothing inherently troonlike about it. What's more of an issue is that your bf sees being submissive as a degrading and female thing like >>255967 said. Submission does not make someone weak, it does not require being called a slut, nor does it require a vagina. It can be a lot of fun for both parties, but for men all they hear from childhood onwards is that they're supposed to be in charge. To them sex is more about control than shared pleasure. Can he eventually break that view? Maybe. Just know you, a single person, are working against a lifetime of indoctrination.

it's just kind of weird. because he clearly has no problem when i'm more dominant. he has explicitly said he likes it. we often switch back and forth and we both enjoy it. he also isn't afraid to whimper or make noises so i don't get why the nipple thing bothered him specifically. maybe it's just because it's all new to him. maybe he'll eventually get over it.

Thinking kinks and the thoughts behind those kinks mean absolutely nothing is extremely naive.
>i was the one who told him to call me things like "slut" as dirty talk ONLY, not him.
So? I'm not judging you for enjoying it. Matter of fact is a man who would call a woman a slut (even if she's the one who asks) is indicative of him not respecting women. Now you're seeing his weird reaction to you playing with his nipples, as if it's slutty and humiliating to enjoy it because only women have their nipples played with (in his dumb moid mind) and being feminine is the most humiliating thing he can experience. He may not troon out, but he'll continue to show small signs of misogyny which is just as bad honestly.

No. 256123

>>256119
you lack reading comprehension and you're twisting things about the situation that are not true. he never said playing with nipples is slutty or humiliating or only done to women. the ONLY thing he was embarrassed about was calling himself a little slut in his mind. the issue is about the little slut thing. not the act of nipple play itself. this is why I barely ask for advice on this site because some of you are so entangled by muh misogyny you start making shit up. read my post again.

I think its fine anon I have a friend and she literally drunk admitted to all of us at the bar that she sucks on her bfs nipples and he's one of our close friends and works in construction. He's a proper mans man but I guess just enjoys different sensations in the bedroom, doesn't seem like he'll troon out at all. My ex even loved his butthole played with, true I can understand how that might scare someone but many years later he seems like the same man I knew back then. Honestly I wouldn't worry about it anon, only start worrying about it if he starts asking to be dicked down constantly and starts watching gay shit online. The 'little slut' thing just seems like porn talk and bullshit he's been exposed to in porn in the past.

I wrote above and yes I did. I thought a girl was my friend and although I knew she liked the guy i was with, didn't think she'd make a move. Then he told me she sent him nudes and blocked her afterwards. I did see their messages and stuff and he always rejected her advances but she kept reaching out, he'd tell me about the stuff she did as she did, I felt so shitty because she ended our friendship over a guy who wasn't even into her to start with. She also blamed me afterwards and said they'd have been so good if I wasn't in the picture and got into his mind or something.

I've also had another friend attempt to steal another chronically ill girl's bf and when I told her it wasn't a good idea, she cut me out and painted me as the bad guy. Afterwards of course she saw I was right because he picked his gf over my friend.

It angers me when some women willingly fuck up other women's relationships and claim it's out of some pure love. Chasing after a dude who's not into you sad is sad enough on its own but it's even worse when he clearly loves another woman.

Nonas I keep wanting to send a friendly meme to a recent ex (only dated for like three weeks) even though he sent me quite a nasty last message. I dumped him and he was upset. I genuinely think we'd make good friends because we were very romantically incompatible but had a load of same interests.
I know it's a bad idea but I keep ruminating over wanting to make contact for like a week now. Would it make me seem really desperate? I think his last message was more upset at a breakup than at me. I gave him almost three weeks of NC so he'd get over it.
I just feel really bad about it ending so shitty. He's younger so I'm not sure he's mature enough for it to end on good terms…
I know I shouldn't make any contact but I keep thinking about it all the time. I mean what's the worst that can happen? He can tell me to fuck off/not reply so nothing will change or we can be a bit friendlier… I can't really lose any dignity because we don't have any common friends or anything. Or maybe I'm just too lonely and should piyr this energy into finding someone else… What should I do?

Leave it alone, it's not a friendship worth pursuing because they're will always been an imbalance of power. He will always be able to make you feel guilty over dumping him. Besides it's a meme, hardly something you absolutely must contact him about? You're thinking about him because of your guilt, and imaging how you can remedy that (let's be friends!! see I'm not a bitch!!) but it won't, you need to get over it and move on. You did nothing wrong, you dumped the moid for a reason. Make friends with people you haven't been emotionally, sexually and romantically intimate with.

Should I ask this guy out? The issue is that he is a TA for my class. He is the same age as me and we have similar interests. He knows who I am and we have had a couple awkward conversations. I think he likes me back because he will keep making eye contact with me. The problem is that I don't know when I should do it. Another problem is I don't have his personal contact information so I'd either have to ask him out over zoom office hours or over email.
The reason I am considering asking him out is because I feel like he wouldn't ask me out because he is a TA and wouldn't want to risk anything because of the power dynamic as he could get in trouble.
If I ask him out over email it would be after the semester is over and final grades are in. My reservations over this method are that it is cringe and he could just not check his email for a long time. I also think no response is worse than a no.
My reservations over asking him out during office hours are that it is over zoom and that is also pretty cringe. Also the fact that it would be before the semester is over.
I don't know what I should do or if I should do it. But I feel like if I don't I will regret it

Thanks, I needed someone to tell me that.
I think it's because we texted constantly before and I am missing that now, coincidentally I have been mostly at home studying and playing vidya which made me feel lonely. But he was always acting 'playfully' shitty to me and I wouldn't wanna date him, shame we had unbelievably similar niche interests, I feel like it's such a waste. He really fucked it up with me.

do not do this, and definitely do not use your university email to ask him out. it sucks, but unless you can do this in person it really is not worth the risk. even then, asking your TA out right after the semester is weird as hell (yes I've done it and I definitely regret it). your best bet is to wait til in-person things open up where you are and run into him at the campus pub or something but i'm sure there are other, more available guys who also share your interests around because men are by nature replaceable kek

One of my exes used to call me a slut even though I'd only ever been with him. He'd been with more than 15 people. Hilarious looking back. Proud of myself for eventually telling him to stop even though at the time porn was normalized in my mind and supposedly liberating. As an adult now I see how degrading and repulsive it is. I can only roll my eyes at women (and men) like >>256254 who can't remotely fathom how sex couldn't be boring without being degraded and objectified. Porn has nothing to do with "sex positivity" because it is nothing like real sex should be. Mutual pleasure, bonding, fun, exploration. People like that don't understand how deeply satisfying "vanilla" sex can be, and I have done more unusual things outside of that, but without being treated like a cumsock. Definitely recommend.

you know you just out yourself by posting shit like this, right?

I'm yet to have a legit answer as to why the fuck some women would want to be called misogynistic names in bed if not for the fact that:
1. they enjoy being called it because they've seen it in porn and think it's kinky or empowering, or
2. they let their boyfriend do it because they think he will consider her "boring and vanilla" otherwise

I fell into both those categories in my teens and I thought it was normal. It wasn't a "preference" it was years of being subtly taught you had to be the kinkiest, coolest most experimental girl around or your boyfriend would just end up fucking someone else. I'm not gonna call girls "degenerates" for doing it but I also think they should certainly reassess why they enjoy being called misogynistic shit we get called every day. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Anon it's entirely reasonable to ask your partner to talk to their doc/prescriber about what options would help with sexual side effects. Docs do this all the time because meds having a significant effect on that area of life isn't considered something you have to just tolerate along with your long term partner riding it out permanently. Docs get that. You're not an asshole. His reaction to you bringing this up sounds more flippant than anything else. He might be sick but sick people act childish sometimes and this almost sounds like him trying to worry you by going to an extreme and talking about quitting full stop. He has to have known you werent requesting that.

Tbh it's concerning that your currently medicated partner is still so quick to react flippantly like that and to make you feel responsible for his feelings and then guilty for finally facing an ongoing issue he has to have known about. Is he unwell right now? Is he just throwing his weight around to make you feel bad and drop the topic?

Anyone with years of experience on meds like that (been there) knows that it's slow going when it comes to getting on meds or coming off them.. switching them is slow too. What you're asking for here is probably a switch or add-on but it's all slow and steady. Surely he would already know that? And it needs to be supervised, always. That all goes without saying. Threatening to just go off meds is a hell of a reaction to a perfectly reasonable request you made. That paired with you saying he's done similar in the past and you thought he'd kill himself.. anon is this a great life partner or any way for you to have to live?

I got broken up with about a month ago. I've actually been doing pretty great just working and taking care of myself. I went on a tinder date for the first time in 2 years and had a blast. We texted for almost a week and he told me good morning everyday and to send him just normal cute pics of me while I was at work. We even video chatted prior to meeting and he was funny and super chill. The date was a lot of fun and he was really respectful. We hooked up and he had a huge dick which was new to me but the sex was great. It's been about a week since we met and we've texted a bit here and there but he's not as responsive as usual and doesn't say good morning anymore. I had some downtime at work the other day and messaged him if he still wanted to cook for me sometime like he said. He said yes and if drinks were on me again. I said sure and then he asked me if I can help him find a part time job. I said I'll look around and he said thanks and then called me hot. He hasn't said shit since.

Technically you're not in relationship with this guy, if you have so much anxiety about it (and frankly, from February to now it's been a while so it's time), you really should have a conversation about your relationship status though. Free access to his phone is already a very good sign, and, as you say he talks to you very often and you can see he's not very active on whatsapp meaning whoever that person is, he's not messaging her much. For all you know, this could be a family member, or a coworker, or just a colleague from the past. As of now, there are no big reasons to worry; don't be afraid to be straightforward with him and just ask about things that make you concerned, as long as you're not accusing him of anything,; any decent person would reassure you it's ok, not get angry.

Honestly, I don't have the guts to ask him. I did ask him 3 dates in and he said that it was too early. I'm just telling myself that the fact that he hasn't brought it up yet means it's a no. Like why would a guy that likes someone let that person be "on the market" so to speak? Idk, feels like if I was another woman he'd jump on the opportunity. Feels like I'm just a placeholder or something. I saw his instagram and he follows women that look nothing like me. His ex looks like these women too, type-wise.

No anon, being proactive and communicating clearly is the best course of action in any relationship, romantic or not; sneaking behind someone's back, assuming things and waiting until something happens or not is a recipe for disaster. Let's say he actually is not interested: do you prefer to know this now or in few months when you'll become even more invested?

My boyfriend has always been very nerd adjacent as his friends are all into IT and shit but he for the most part is just a regular old working electrician… But he's not completely oblivious to e-culture etc. and lately for the first time ever he has been playing video games with people online and more specifically he has been playing final fantasy online with a GIRL he met playing Overwatch. I don't play video games and he has asked me to before. They only play like 2 times a week or whatever and I'm sure it's innocuous but this is really terrifying me as I feel like it is inevitably going to turn into some kind of online cheating/attraction thing I just know it.

Do you know anything about her nona? Both of those games are popular with women. I don't know anything about your boyfriend or his intentions to gauge whether your reaction is appropriate or not, but you should find out if she has a boyfriend or husband. I'd say the chances are like 50/50 that any random player he meets on those games would be women so the fact that he's befriended a girl from those games isn't alarming in and of itself. I would be more concerned if he felt a need to privatize this relationship from you or ignored your needs and wants to spend time with this woman instead just because she plays games. If you really believe he's going to cheat you should just dump him and not wait for it to happen. At some point your moid will interact with women and if you can't trust him to not make it sexual or romantic then your moid is probably trash tbh.

So my libido is currently almost zero and it's really fucking up my relationship. My bf has a very high sex drive, and ends up trying to initiate sex at least once or twice a day. We usually have sex about once a week. He definitely doesn't try to force me (I tried to force myself one time, he could tell and it did not go well)
I am working on fixing my mental issues and trying to get a normal libido back, but in the meantime we are living in an r/deadbedrooms post where interactions are awkward because he doesn't want to get horny and rejected, I'm feeling guilty for hurting him and worsening my mental state, and I can feel the strain I'm causing.

But that's because he has no female friends or acquaintances he maintains except for being polite with some of the girls he works with. Which is kind of why I'm really worried. I liked it that way and I feel like that's way it should be. Men and women are supposed to have sex which is why they enter into relationships - so they can do that. I really have a hard time imagining ongoing friendships between men and women that exist independently of like a couples/group circle setting.

I have no desire to befriend any men whatsoever and that has always been true for him as well (for women), so this is really unusual. I have asked him about her but he said he has no idea about her at all like her personal life or whatsoever and said they pretty much have a temporal relationship that is based exclusively on when they are playing final fantasy so just talking about the game or other random shit blah blah. And I believe him too… it's just that obviously sounds like fun, they're just shooting the shit and getting along and between men and women I really honestly feel that can only evolve into one thing.

I really don't know how to respond to this but this whole
>Men and women are supposed to have sex which is why they get into relationships
I mean I'm all for it if you only want to be friends with women and you're certainly within your right to set boundaries with your partner. But this is not some all encompassing fundamental truth about male-female relationships. Again I don't wanna cape for him because I really don't know if that's how he is but it's definitely possible for friendships to exist between men and women with no sexual attraction to ever develop whatsoever. Some people just enjoy the company of people with the same hobbies and don't care about the other person's sex because they're repulsed by them anyway and/or are monogamous. And I hardly think that sex is all that coupling is about. At any rate my advice for you would be to just set this boundary for your relationship because it's not like I'm going to change your worldview nor do I particularly want to. Because at the end of the day your relationship should go according to your terms. If you're not comfortable with him having female friendships, tell him he needs to call it off. If it's not a big deal as he says then he should have no trouble giving it up and having only male friends.

Why do you have no sex drive? Did you have a higher drive at some point? None of us can really say what will fix this for you without knowing what caused it in the first place. But neither you nor he should stay in a relationship where your libidos are so mismatched. Still, 1-2x a day is a lot. Studies show the average adult couple has sex once a week, so you are normal and he is kind of a nympho. Very few couples have sex that often past the initial few months of a relationship, if only because they have actual responsibilities and shit to do other than banging all day. Why is it on you to get in the mood more often instead of him just jacking off and more fully appreciating the times he can actually be with you?

>He said yes and if drinks were on me again
I feel like you're rebounding and settling for less here because of that. He got easy sex, he now even expects you to pay for the alcohol when you go back to give him easy sex again. That's kind of a bad deal. Imo this is some no-strings shit and by no means dating. If the dick is big and worth it and you're happy to do that.. I'd at least argue that you being expected to supply the alcohol is still him taking the piss. He's getting a good deal and still testing you by wanting you to pay for shit. Oh and he can do his own job search.

>I'm introverted and I hate confrontation
I'm introverted to an extent that's kinda isolating, like you I often can't do phone calls either. ime guys tend to feel pretty fucking comfy in the fact that you won't exactly run off with someone else while you're like that. It puts no pressure on them to make up their minds and it leaves you in a shit situation if they're obviously more outgoing and you're stuck worrying about that. It's good that you haven't slept with him yet. Don't sleep with him while this is still up in the air and uncertain.

It's one of those situations where even if you arent typically assertive or one to confront people… you need to channel that evergy every now and then to get answers for yourself. Pick your moments and get vocal. He needs to see that while you're quiet by nature you're also capable of confronting an issue if he starts messing you around or dragging this out.

You guys are right. I met him today and I could not for the life of me get the words out. It got awkward when we were in his car. I made a joke about how his car is the love of his life, and he laughed and put on some country song about a guy falling for a woman He kept being affectionate (we do kiss and cuddle) and we had coffee together and he kissed me in front of people. I also saw him use his phone and Tinder is no longer on his phone. I will definitely have to ask next time we meet as you guys have explained. Thanks for the advice nonnas.

Help me. I’m not exactly in a relationship with this guy but we would talk loads and had met up where we were intimate but still spoke afterwards for about a week but now he’s decided because it’s Ramadan he’s going to be a “good boy” (eyeroll) so our messages decreased. He messaged me to apologise for the late reply on Sunday and asked how I was but then didn’t read my response, hes still online a lot and tonight I looked and his snapchat score (lol) is going up and up. I want to just message him forget it bye and then block him or am I being crazy? I thought at first maybe he feels he can’t control himself talking with me so has decided to distance himself during ramadan but now I just think that’s an excuse he’s made so he can ghost me. Should I cut him off? Wait? What do I do?

It sounds like he didn’t have a problem being intimate with you before (pretty sure that’s a big no-no) but now that it suits him to adhere to his religion, he’s willing to drop you like a bad habit. That’s pretty damn hypocritical already and telling of his priorities. People like that tend to think they themselves are above the rules while holding everyone else to an impossible standard. I would just stop talking to him, nothing irks me more than religious hypocrisy.

No. 256718

He’s definitely a hypocrite and I agree with you, considering he was mentioning about waiting to see me after ramadan for more haram hanky panky like if god existed that’s ok and god wouldn't know he’s planning future sins. To be honest that should be telling of his character, a deceitful sneaky prawn who if willing to do that to his powerful god then there is no chance in hell he will be any different with me. It’s so hard to just ghost because I always feel the need to give a dramatic exit, is it a bad idea to text bye?

Block him without a word, he doesn't deserve your energy. He WILL reach out to you again begging for another chance at coochie, don't give it to him. Consider it a silver lining that he showed his true values before you guys got serious. Many muslim men will fool around with non-muslim women for years and then drop them to marry a muslim woman.

Was just thinking today what >>256721 said about no kisses for a month out of the year. Religion has never existed in my life so it's just nonsensical to adhere to it needlessly. Since it was integral to his life he saw it as no big deal, but to an outsider it's a culture shock for sure.

Good luck ending things. Sorry it's like this, it definitely sucks.

I agree with the other anon, you don’t owe him any energy. I would just block him without a word. You’ve already tried to talk to him and he hasn’t replied (or has barely replied). He’s not your boyfriend or anything. Even if you tell him you don’t like being ignored because he suddenly wants to act all pious, a guy who is really into you wouldn’t do that to begin with. It’s more likely he would just act indignant and accuse you of not understanding his religion or some shit. Just not worth it. Someone who really likes you doesn’t give mixed signals.

Thank you, I’m just trying to psyche myself up to do the block on everything — Like telling myself in all honesty we aren’t very compatible.

I agree there is a culture shock, he “moved back in” with his parents. I suggested maybe staying over one time in the future and he said “oh I don’t know what excuse I will be able to make to my parents” then it was after midnight he saw the time and panicked he needed to drive home because it was late and heaven forbid his parents ask where he’s been. He’s 27 years old but it felt like I was grooming a minor. He also asked me to not smoke or drink in my own home too whilst he was around but sitting on his face however was the only haram he would tolerate. I think now I’m just going to avoid dating men who claim to be muslim, a decent muslim man by their own standards would already be settled down and married not on dating apps and having inappropriate relations etc, by his own beliefs he is morally bankrupt. Wish me luck

He's seeing you like a free whore like how all muslim men see women that sleep with them. For future stuff, any anons reading this should NEVER EVER sleep with muslim men before marriage. Tell him you're a virgin, doesn't matter if it's a lie, only then he will treat you like a human being and even like a princess but when you sleep with him, it's over.
I feel bad for all the women who went through this but to be fair, being a westerner and deciding to date a misogynistic Muslim man and allow him to use you means you did kind of deserve it. What were you hoping? These guys all have muslim gfs that don't sleep with them so they fool around with other girls.

With all due respect he come across as a westernised e-boy initially, I didn’t realise he would go full jihadkebab on me. I was a bit iffy about him being a muslim but thought to myself would I prefer a respectful (top kek) man who may go mosque on a Friday or a man who is out drinking on a Friday hooking up with girls ~insert clown emoji~ feel free to laugh at me. Whilst I agree with your point, my naive considerations deserve some pity. If western men weren’t scummy cumbrain disappointments too this probably could have been prevented.

Anon I'm not blaming you but you should research people's culture and beliefs better the next time. You would've seen girls post similar experiences with Muslim men if you bothered to look it up which I do understand you might not have thought was that big of a deal sincere you've never had a similar experience but nevertheless, muslim men are known to be misogynistic and twofaced like most men from underdeveloped extremist countries.
I'm mad that these men get to play two women at once, imo no woman should give them time of their day because those men really are worthless.

In my experience religious men will see you as worthless if you sleep with them while dating. They aren't 'good' or more calm and gentlemanly, they are even worse than progressive atheist coomers, at least that's how it was for me. Religious men are sexist assholes who don't even try to hide or are ashamed of their sexism like non-religious men trying to date you tend to be. They will always be self-righteous about (especially non-virgin) women being inferior because they think that's God's word and it's inherently true.

Philosophical question, totally asking for a friend: If you or a partner are jealous and insecure about themselves, have been cheated on before, and are jealous of your/their past relationships, is it toxic to ask to look through your/their phone messages or prevent you/them from seeing friends affiliated with exes or that could be potential romantic interests? Even if there is no history of cheating? Is it wrong to humor this kind of behavior or is it wrong to say no to you/them at the expense of your/their feelings being hurt and your/their insecurities worsening?
Sorry for the awkward phrasing but I'm trying to phrase this as neutrally as possible just so there are no defined sides of who is in whose shoes so there's no immediate bias. I still can't figure it out.
